Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
When I was in elementary school, we had a neighbor who made her own candy for Christmas every year. She mostly made black and white marbled chocolates in the shape of Santa and snowmen, that she would put on sticks for easier eating. One year she branched out and made her own hard candy lollipops. I had never seen lollipops (or suckers as they called them back in Oregon) that didn't come from a store and so I was totally intrigued by the idea that you could make such things at home, on your own. I haven't thought about homemade lollipops in years, until I spotted this post over at Make and Takes in which Marie made her own for the holidays. She's got some fun vintage molds, but says that you can use the plastic ones available in the stores or even do them without a mold. It sounds like a fun seasonal project to me.

She would use the same molds I think, but melt down these oversize chocolate chips from the cooking store. It's pretty much overly sweet, cheap chocolate, but the lollipops were cute.

Thank you so much for passing along the fun Holiday Suckers. I love to make them, I just got done making 3 batches for neighbors and friends. I do want to say that I did try the plastic molds on the last run, and the sucker syrup is just too hot for them. The plastic molds melted. So stick with stainless steel molds or no molds at all for a fun "rustic" look.
Thanks again and Happy Holidays!
Marie
