This recipe is wonderful. Don't be fooled by all of the bubbles, they go away as the candy hardens. Watch closely for the partially cooled part, I missed it. The candy was too hard to put the sticks in, I guess I waited too long. They cool crystal clear! Wonderful recipe! thank you

This recipe saved the day! Didn't have time to run out to the store to buy candy for our daughter's 3rd b-day party, went onto recipezaar.com and found this one! Oh my goodness....how awesome! These lollipops taste just like the ones you buy at high end stores. I added 10 drops of red food coloring, and 5 drops of cherry flavor and they taste just like jolly ranchers!!! Thank you sooooooo much for sharing this family recipe!! Will DEFINATELY make again and again.

This is an awesome recipe! My daughter, Kezia, had a "winter" themed birthday party and I found the perfect snowman sucker molds at a cake and candy supply store near my house. These were the most popular goody bag treat! My other daughter, Kiandra, just celebrated her birthday and wanted suckers in her goody bags too. I made her favorite color, purple, using the paste type coloring, and she picked cotton candy as the flavour. (The store also sells flavoured oils to add intense flavours- www.lorannoils.com is the website on the label.) Thank you for this recipe, we will use it again and again!
