So today I attempted to use the mold to make Lego suckers (are they still suckers without sticks? These are like Jolly Ranchers). But it didn’t go as smoothly as the gummie’s did.
I thought the gummie’s thickened quickly. These suckers started going hard so fast I couldn’t even spread it around very well. I couldn’t get the base plate to stick into it (too hard by the time I tried, so they can’t stack. Oh well, live and learn). It was fun to try and fairly simple, now that I know what NOT to do, I think we’ll end up trying it again soon!

Hi,
So I tried doing a search on lolli-pop flavors and came up with way too many options. I was wondering if you could tell me where you got your flavor/ what type you used. Thanks!

honestly I don’t remember, any candy flavoring will work, just find a favorite flavor and order it!

Sorry, we don’t use the term ‘sucker’ in NZ or have Jolly Ranchers! But I googled it so no worries – thanks though 🙂

GOTCHA! I was a bit worried you were a spammer trying to get me to say words like hard and sucker inappropriately 😉 I’m so glad your a real person! we call lollipops suckers, so this is a lollipop recipe, that I used in a mold instead of on a stick, so completely hard, you just suck on them (don’t try to chomp, they can break teeth!
