LOLLIPOP SWIRL CANDY RECIPES

Steps:

• Coat lollipop molds lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Place lollipop sticks in the molds.
• Combine the sugar, water, and corn syrup in a large, heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
• Continue cooking until the mixture reaches 300 degrees F (hard-crack stage). Immediately remove the saucepan from the heat.
• Add the candy flavoring and stir to combine.
• Pour the mixture into a heatproof measuring con­tainer with a spout, or a candy funnel. Divide the mixture among the prepared molds.
• Working quickly, add a drop of food coloring to each lollipop. Use a toothpick or wooden skewer to swirl the food coloring around. You can add more drops or different colors as desired.
• Let the lollipops cool and harden, about 15 minutes, before removing them from the molds.

• Pour about half of the mixture into a heatproof measuring container with a spout, or a candy funnel. (Keep the remainder of the mixture in the hot saucepan. If it starts to set, place it over medium-high heat to rewarm.) Fill the prepared molds halfway with the mixture. Let sit for a couple minutes.
• Spoon the dulce de leche into a zipper-lock bag and snip off one corner to make a small hole about ?-inch wide. Pipe a swirl of dulce de leche in the center of each lollipop, being careful not to get too close to the edges. Fill the molds with the rest of the mixture, covering the dulce de leche. Sprinkle with edible glitter.
