So, I think we all have childhood memories of great hard candy suckers in some sort of cute shape. BUT that doesn't mean we know how to make these magical creations. About 4 months ago I went to a friends yard sale and stumbled on a box of Hard Candy Sucker supplies...... 15 molds, sticks and wrappers and for a steal of $5 for the entire box.........killer deal and I bought it. My bestie friend Barbara told me she knew how to make them and we made them one day (note: our kids went and sold them to neighborhood kids and made $28 Hoot Hoot) Let me tell you they were EASY EASY EASY to make and they look so cool and the kids absolutely love them. I am semi-addicted to making suckers. The only reason I am not totally addicted is because I have 10 million other things I am semi-addicted to. Anyway......Here is how I make Hard Candy Suckers and a few of my tricks to the trade. I made Strawberry Cream suckers for my son, Blake to give a sucker basket to his friend on her Birthday!!! (NOTE......I WILL BE POSTING A HARD SUCKER 101 POST LATER SINCE I DO NOT THINK THERE ARE ENOUGH POST ON BLOGS ABOUT SUCKER MAKING) Must Haves: Pot, Pam Spray, White Hard Candy Molds (at least 3-4), Karo Syrup, Sugar, Water, Sucker Sticks, Sucker Wrappers w/ ties or Tape, Candy Thermometer, Spatula, Pink Food Coloring, Strawberry Candy Flavoring & Measuring Cups. Extras, but HIGHLY Recommended: Clear Vanilla Flavoring, White Food Coloring, Candy Eyes (if your mold has eyes), Nerds, Large Glass Pyrex Measuring Cup. 1~ First Thing to do is get your molds ready.......make sure you have hard candy molds and NOT just chocolate molds. It is a hard white or opaque mold. You will melt your mold if it is not the right kind OR you may have the metal molds that clip on to your sucker stick!!! Spray your molds with Pam and add sticks. Make sure you have ALL and even extra molds ready encase you have extra. You can never be too prepared because once it's ready to pour ....you pour. Depending on the depth of each mold....it varies how many suckers you'll get. I got 21 suckers from this particular batch, but when I do ALL owls I only get 17-18. My cute owl molds have eye spots perfect to put candy eyes I got from Walmart in the cake decorating section. Add nerds to your molds now as well. I only put nerds in half my suckers. 2~ In a pot or med size pan......add 2 Cups White Sugar, 2/3 Cup Karo Syrup and 3/4 Cups Water and stir with spatula until mixed and on Med/High Heat. 3~ Once your mixture is boiling you do NOT stir anymore. Stirring upsets the crystallization crap or something like that.....just enjoy the fact you no longer have to stir. :) Add your Candy Thermometer and make sure it is not touching the bottom of the pan, but is covered by the mixture! 4~ OK, this may sound weird, but put your large (4 cup) Glass Pyrex Measuring Cup in the microwave for 3 minutes and leave it there until I say. 5~ Do nothing until the mixture reaches 260 degrees( you may have to turn the heat up a little to reach this). Then add coloring and DON'T mix...the bubbles will do that for you. I used a gel food coloring in neon pink. Just a few squirts plus 2 drops of white food coloring...WHY you ask.....well I don't like my suckers completely clear when I am making my owls...the eyes look funny from the back of the head. Hee Hee But I DO add more (5-6 drops) white food coloring if I want a more opaque color or white ghost or something like that. It is a must have to me!!!! 6~ OK....this is babysitting time. Your heat will rise lots faster once it hits 260 degrees. Watch the thermometer like a HAWK. Once it has hit 300 degrees remove it from the heat and set it on a cool burner and remove the candy thermometer. I let the bubbles slow down a little and then add my Strawberry candy flavoring and a few splashes of vanilla ( use the clear kind so it doesn't change the color of your sucker...it's in the cake decorating section at Walmart) Stir slowly and be careful of any vapors that rise up towards your face. I use the extra potent Candy Flavoring from Loranns and I just need the tiny 1 dram bottles. Walmart does carry some flavors at my local store. 7~ Now get that Pyrex Measuring Cup out of the Microwave......use a hot pad and place it on the counter. (I have you heat it up so it is doesn't cool the sucker mixture) Pour the hot Sucker mixture into it and use the spatula to scrap the edges. 8~ Stop wasting time enjoying the strawberry smell and START POURING. I tend to pour by and on top of the stick first. Make sure the stick is covered well. Once you have it filled quickly move over to another mold. you will have little drip trails the entire way......no problem. When they are hard you and your kids get to munch on them. My kids call them the crunchy grass or hay. 9~ Your mixture will eventually start to cool off and be too hard to pour. I always have to microwave the last remnants for about 15 seconds (you may have to do it an additional 10-15 seconds, but no more than tat...it will burn... Yuck!!) Then you can get an extra sucker or two out of your mixture. 10~ Yeah!!! Let them cool about 10-15 minutes and then it is revelation time!!! Hoot Hoot!!! Some of your suckers may have gotten too much and poured out a little. No worries when you pop them out you can break off the extra!!! I just love the owls...I found the molds on Ebay!!!! Note you will need at least 3 Owl molds. 11~ OK lets bag them. You have to bag them the same day or put the in an airtight container. If the suckers are exposed to air too much they will become stick. TIP: I personally hate the prices for sucker bags......so I went to the craft section and bought the 3x4 inch bead bags and cut the ziplock top off. They work great and are sturdy plastic. 12~ Tie the bag. If you buy sucker wrappers....most likely they will come with twist ties. TIPS: Alternatives are clear tape or pipe cleaners. You can get about 5 ties per pipe cleaner. So I said Blake took a Sucker Basket to his friends Birthday party. Isn't he cute....well here is a little simple how to: Supplies: Small Basket, Floral Foam, Tissue Paper and Suckers (I used 10 suckers) I ran out of time, but a little sign of Happy Birthday on a stick would have been cute!!!! 1~ Getting your foam to fit the basket. I put the basket on top of the floral foam and made slashes all the way around with a knife. See circle shape? 2~ Cut all extra foam off leaving only the circle. (note: ignore my finger in the picture) 3~ Put it in the basket to see if it fits 4~ If it fits then start wrapping it in the tissue paper. 5~ Put it in the basket tissue edge side down. 6~ If your really picky....put your suckers in order by height so you can arrange it more uniform and start poking! Hoot Hoot!!! Your ready to give it away or enjoy yourself. It is fun and easy to do and best of all it is something HOMEMADE. This entire basket gift cost me $3.25 to make and it was one of the highlights of the night!!!! Notes: I used this cute tin basket, but you could use all sorts or containers like glass vase (wide mouth), Quart Jars (Wide Mouth), small watering can, recycle yogurt containers with wrapping paper around it, takeout boxes and much more!!!  BRINGING HOMEMADE BACK

When I was five I was gifted my very own record player for my birthday. It was so cool. It was yellow. I'm sure that I was the envy of all the neighborhood children. I had lots of vinyl records. You know, like at least ten. All kinds of awesome kid stuff--like Sesame Street and The Sound of Music. If you could travel back in time with me to this day in 1974, I can guarantee you that I was listening to "Snoopy's Christmas" on my record player. I listened everyday from Thanksgiving to Christmas. Guaranteed. My all time favorite song on that album and really the only one that I can remember all the words to was "Christmas Candy". I think this song shaped my life. Christmas and candy just go together in my world. You can't have one without the other. Well, you could. But it would be totally and completely wrong on every possible level. I am finally feeling better and I have been making candy for the past couple of days. It's one of my favorite things to do. And I plan on making lots and lots more. Caramels, fudge, marshmallows, peanut butter cups, divinity, peppermint bark... It just doesn't get any better. Today I made lollipops. You need to make some too. It's easy. You will need some heat tolerant molds to make lollipops though. I found some lollipop molds at the store today. My recipe made nine large flat lollipops. The molds cost around $2.00 each. There are three lollipops per mold. You also need some sticks. You can pick those up almost anywhere (WalMart, Hobby Lobby, etc) I also happen to have some really cool metal molds that make a 3-D spherical kind of sucker. Kind of like a tootsie-pop without the tootsie. Which is really too bad. I wonder how to make your own tootsie? I'll have to look into that. Anyway, I made some of each kind. Nine flat and twelve spherical. Yum! You can choose from all sorts of flavors and colors. I used cinnamon oil and red food coloring for the first batch and butter rum oil and yellow food coloring for the second batch. Lollipops. It's fun to say. And even more fun to eat. There is just something cool about that stick! BUT, I have even bigger plans for these pops. I will show you real soon, I promise. I will tell you this. You are going to want to have some pops on hand. Trust me. So, let's make some. Shall we? Be sure to lightly grease your molds before you pour in the hot syrup. I may or may not know this from experience. It is especially important to grease the metal molds! If you don't have molds, you can still make hard candy. Just pour it into a lightly greased square metal pan. My Mom used to score it into little squares with a metal spatula while it was still warm. Then when it had cooled she would turn it out and break it into little pieces. Dust them with powdered sugar put them in a Christmas tin and you are good to go! The recipe above makes translucent lollipops. If you want to make opaque pops you will need to add some of this magical stuff. It's a liquid white food coloring made by LorAnn. Just add between 1/4 and 1/2 tsp of liquid whitener right after you add the flavoring and the food color. Lollipops. Make some. UPDATE: Now that you've made your pops. Come see what fun can be had!

Under-filling the wells in the gem molds produces more realistic looking gems that are easier to remove once hardened. Soak the sauce pan, candy thermometer, spatula, and measuring cup with hot water as quickly as you can after you finish working to dissolve the remaining syrup. A single recipe makes about 6 dozen small candies of one color (fewer if you combine them to make "complete" jewels). Adapted from Martha Stewart.
