Easy DIY Lollipops With Edible Flowers
No need for candy thermometers or a stovetop—this lollipop uses your oven and a silicone mold to slump hard candy into a pretty lollipop shape.
Servings 12 lollipops
Equipment
- 1 oven
- 1 silicone lollipop mold
- lollipop sticks
- cello treat bags with twist ties
Ingredients
- peppermint hard candies clear
- dried pressed flowers
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 250°F. Place silicone mold on baking sheet and add one flower (face down) in each cavity.
- Place one or two peppermint candies in each cavity. If you are unsure of how much candy your mold will hold, try melting one candy first, then adding a second and melting a second time. I figured out that these molds worked best with two or three candies.
- Place the baking sheet and mold in the oven and bake for 30-60 minutes, or until the hard candy has melted completely. If necessary, rotate the lollipop sticks to make sure they are completely coated with melted candy.
- Allow the lollipops to cool and harden completely before gently popping them out of their molds. (This should take less than 30 minutes.) Cooled lollipops should be enjoyed right away or packaged in cello bags to keep them from getting too sticky.
