Preparing the Sugar Mixture

Combine the sugar, corn syrup, and a minor amount of water in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.

Cooking to Hard-Crack Stage

Continue cooking the mixture without stirring, until it reaches the hard-crack stage, which is between 300°F to 310°F. Make sure to monitor the temperature closely with a candy thermometer.

Adding Flavor and Color

Remove from heat, and after allowing it to cool slightly, stir in your choice of food coloring and flavoring. Be cautious, as the mixture will be extremely hot.

Forming the Lollipops

Pour the mixture into lollipop molds that have been prepared with lollipop sticks. Work quickly but safely, as the mixture will begin to set as it cools.

Cooling and Demolding

Allow the lollipops to cool and harden completely before removing them from the molds. Enjoy your homemade hard candy lollipops or wrap them in cellophane for a sweet gift.
