Children should be supervised at all times.

]]> 59330 2 50 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/148721/50.jpg 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.

]]> 59331 3 62 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/148721/62.jpg 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.

]]> 59332 4 71 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/148721/71.jpg 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.

]]> 59333 5 82 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.

]]> 59334 6 93 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/148721/93.jpg 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.

]]> 59335 7 107 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/148721/107.jpg 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.

]]> 59336 8 126 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/148721/126.jpg 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!

]]> 59337 9 135 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.

]]> 59338 10 144 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/148721/144.jpg Wrap Package your lollipops in clear or colored wrappers. Tie each with a ribbon or string.

]]> 59339 11 151 Fact Salvador Dali designed the logo for Chupa Chups, a Spanish candymaker that sells about 4 billion lollipops worldwide each year.
