Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup (or honey for a natural alternative)
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 packet unsweetened Kool-Aid (any flavor)
- 1/4 tsp baking soda (for the fizz)
- Lollipop sticks
- Candy molds or parchment paper
Tip: Use different Kool-Aid flavors to create a variety of colorful and flavorful lollipops. You can find lollipop sticks and molds at craft stores or online!
Instructions
Prepare the Candy Mixture:
- In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves.
- Once the mixture starts boiling, stop stirring and let it reach 300°F (hard crack stage) on a candy thermometer. This will take about 10-15 minutes.
Add Flavor & Fizz:
- Carefully remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the Kool-Aid packet and baking soda. The mixture will bubble up, so be cautious!
Pour into Molds:
- Quickly pour the hot candy mixture into lollipop molds or drop small circles onto parchment paper. Work quickly as the mixture hardens fast.
Insert Sticks:
- Insert lollipop sticks into each mold or circle, twisting them slightly to coat the sticks with candy.
Let Cool & Harden:
- Allow the lollipops to cool completely at room temperature. As they harden, the baking soda will create a subtle fizzy texture.
Unwrap & Enjoy:
Once fully hardened, pop the lollipops out of the molds or peel them off the parchment paper. Wrap them in cellophane or enjoy immediately!
Notes
Be careful when handling the hot candy mixture, as it can cause burns if not handled properly.
For a more intense flavor, use stronger Kool-Aid flavors like cherry, grape, or fruit punch.
If using parchment paper instead of molds, space the drops far apart to avoid sticking together.
