lollipop sticks Sturdy options for maximum durability.
candy thermometer Ensures your mixture reaches the perfect temperature.

In a saucepan, mix together the granulated sugar, corn syrup, and water.
Place your saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar completely dissolves, about 5 minutes.
Once boiling, stop stirring and insert your candy thermometer, aiming for the hard crack stage at 300°F.
Remove from heat and stir in your flavored extract and food coloring.
Pour the mixture onto a greased cookie sheet and let it cool slightly for 3-5 minutes.
Shape the lollipops using a mold or your hands, inserting sticks as desired.
