Children should be supervised at all times. • Step 1: Prepare the molds • If you’re using molds, spray them with nonstick cooking spray. Place the lollipop sticks inside the molds, and put them on the baking sheets. Otherwise, spray the baking sheets directly. • Step 2: Dissolve the sugar • Add the water, sugar, and cream of tartar to a saucepan, and heat the mixture on medium. Stir the mix until the sugar dissolves. • Step 3: Heat the syrup • Turn up the burner to high, and boil the mixture for about 10 minutes, until it turns amber in color. Do not stir. Check the temperature with a candy thermometer. The syrup should reach 300 degrees. • Tip • If you don’t have a thermometer, spoon a drop of syrup into a glass of ice-cold water. If, after five seconds, it forms easily breakable threads, it’s ready. • Step 4: Color and flavor • Remove the saucepan from heat and dunk the bottom in a bowl of ice and water to stop cooking. Quickly stir in coloring and flavoring if you’re using them. If not, don’t worry—plain lollipops are tasty, too. • Step 5: Form lollipops • With a teaspoon, fill the lollipop molds. If you’re not using them, pour a 2-inch pool of syrup directly onto the baking sheets, and put a lollipop stick in it. Repeat across each baking sheet. Work quickly; if the mixture gets too thick to pour easily, return it to the stove and heat it briefly to thin it out. • Step 6: Cool • Let the pops cool for at least 15 minutes before removing them from the molds or using a spatula to pry them from the baking sheet. They’re ready to eat! • Tip • If you’ve got syrup left over after filling the molds, reheat it in the saucepan and pour it over ice cream for a candy-coated treat. • Step 7: Wrap • Package your lollipops in clear or colored wrappers. Tie each with a ribbon or string. • Did You Know? • Salvador Dali designed the logo for Chupa Chups, a Spanish candymaker that sells about 4 billion lollipops worldwide each year.
