Hey there,
This is my first video in a series showing you how to make naughty-but-nice confectionery. In this video, I show you how to make lollipops. Mine are Christmas themed, because it's that time of year, but you can make any kind of lollipops, any time of year.
ABOUT ME
Hey there! I’m Stacey Hart, mum to 3 boys and semi-finalist on The Great British Bake Off 2017. I've always loved baking for friends and family and since GBBO aired lots of you have been asking me to share my recipes too. So I decided to share the fun, and create this channel, where I can show you what I get up to, how you can get the kids to help (sometimes!) and we'll hopefully end up with some fab creations you can share with your family & friends like I do. WARNING: Expect pink, glitter, and sprinkles. After all, I am who I am!

INGREDIENTS & METHOD
Ingredients
450g granulated sugar
225g glucose syrup or light corn syrup
80ml water
A sugar thermometer is essential for this recipe
Method
Prepare a large bowl with water and ice (this is to put the hot pan in to stop it cooking when it’s ready)
Prepare your silicone lollipop moulds with lollipop sticks
Get your sprinkles ready to use.
Add the 3 ingredients to a heavy bottomed aluminum pan
Gently stir them together
Put the lid on the pan and take the temperature up to medium high
Keep the lid on for 4-5 mins to self clean the sides of the pan and stop the sugar from sticking to the sides and crystallising
Take the lid off and continue to boil until the temperature reaches 154 degrees C or 310 degrees F
This should take around 8-9 mins
Take the sugar syrup off of the heat at plunge the pan carefully into the large bowl of icy water.
Be very very careful no one is around and that you protect yourself and your hands
Leave in for 5-10 seconds and then remove
Pour the sugar into a jug and add a few drops of your prefered flavouring - my favourite is bubblegum but there’s loads to choose from
As soon as the bubbles subside start pouring VERY Very carefully into the lollipop moulds
Once all the moulds have been filled drop a few sprinkles on the top or each one
Leave to cool completely before taking each one out and place them individually into a cellophane bag
It’s not nice to make lollipops in hot/humid weather as lollipops get sticky
Christmas is a PERFECT time to make them
Enjoy!

[@donnaarden2887]

Hi stacey, love ur channel. I wonder if i can make my own embellishment. What are the ingredients? Or can just use fondant or icing? Will it be melted? Thanks so much

[@StaceyDeesKitchen]

Hi. I haven't made my own embellishments. I would worry that they would disintegrate in the boiling sugar. Perhaps I'm wrong! Let me know how you get on ❤️

[@kaitlynskitchen9562]

Those are so cute!

[@StaceyDeesKitchen]

Thanks so much x

[@riyabenoy7738]

Hi Stacey, thank you for the lovely recipe. Absolutely loved the candies. I live in a area with humid weather, so I would like to know your thoughts on how to package them so that they don't melt.

[@StaceyDeesKitchen]

Well, it is a struggle in humid conditions, sadly. They really don't like it! I package mine immediately (individually) in cellophane bags with a tie and I store them in a box in a cool dark place. Never refrigerate them. I hope that helps

[@sherriepatrick6713]

I just found out if you want to try this I live in Texas HOT and sticky here. Use half of the amount of water and most of the sticky goes away. I'm happy now.

[@anud7563]

[@alisha8807]

Stacey these look amazing! I tried your recipe, it turned out great!! But after a while the lollipops became stickey, it was difficult to put it in the wrapper and it was difficult to take out of the wrapper too. I stored it in a nice air tight container as well. I live in an area where there is quiet some humidity, what can I do?

[@emartinezpacheco1424]

You may consider trying Isomalt. It is easy to use and dries quickly with no “moisture”.

[@rangersxful]

O yeah can u store them in fridge after I put wrapping on suckers for a week or two

No I never store them in the fridge. Once wrapped keep in an airtight container not the fridge

[@latifahosazee2532]

Monique Wessels when the lollipops are all made and done you need to blow some fire on it with a torch then it becomes more clear!

[@Hvantress]

Do you have an Amazon (affiliate) link to but the flavoring kit?

[@TheLittleBlackShadeTree]

I've been trying to make suckers out of honey for two days now and I can't get the honey (mixed with sugar water) anywhere close to the hard crack stage before turning a foul burnt taste and smell. I've been using thick pots, tried heating slowly, stirring frequently, but nothing seems to be helping. Any help you might have would be SO appreciated! Thank you!

[@StaceyDeesKitchen]

Hi, I've never tried with honey.. so sorry :(

[@ozgaslan92]

It looks very good i will try but i have a question if i want to put my name letter inside of this lollypop how can i do it ?

[@ravali0623]

Loved the recipe n the video. I wanted to know from where exactly u got those sugar embellishments.

Hi there. I think these were from Lakeland. Not 100% sure. 😊

[@bebejanekiew9823]

Hi stacey, may I know what is glucose syrup?? I couldn't find it in Singapore bakery supply shop. I want to make lollipop for my boy birthday which is tomorrow. Hopefully you can tell me how do I prepare glucose syrup or any other ingredients to replace glucose syrup. Thank you🙏

[@downwitdee2156]

Great idea for the kids

[@candicebeeson8604]

I want to make these for an event we're having and I would need 100. How long can they keep after wrapping in the cellophane?

[@StaceyDeesKitchen]

Do not refrigerate but put in a cool dark place and they should be fine for a few weeks providing they have been made in the correct conditions and aren't at all sticky when you finish. 😁

[@kapilagarwal3448]

Where did u get that sprinkles in India what we do mam

[@amandaluv1676]

Did you mix the flavor drops in or just let it settle ⁉️

[@StaceyDeesKitchen]

To be honest it's better you stir it as i don't know what flavor you use and it may not disperse like mine does

[@sta.ritalyka5246]

hi, question. what to do when the lollipop gets moist?
