We, Evelyn and I, made 140 lollipops for the Taste of America at school.
They were easy to make, just very messy and time consuming. Overall, I would say 5 hours. You have to factor in cook time, chill time and wrap time. But for making a single batch, not much time at all.
We got molds, sticks, coloring and flavoring from Michaels. Found the recipe on line. There are thousands out there.
Give it a try and enjoy!
HARD CANDY LOLLIPOPS
2 c. sugar
2/3 c. light corn syrup
3/4 c. water
Oil flavors (optional)
Color (optional)
In a saucepan, blend sugar, corn syrup, and water. Bring to a boil over high heat, until mixture reaches 290 degrees. Remove pan from heat. Allow to stand until bubbles have simmered down. Add flavoring and color as desired. Too much stirring will cause syrup to solidify into a hard sugary lump. Mold into desired shapes in Pam-sprayed hard candy molds. Work fast.
Keep mixture warm over hot water. If mixture becomes too cold and thick it may be warmed for a few seconds in microwave. Put sucker sticks in molds before pouring mixture.
