Scale
Main Ingredients
- 25 green Apple Jolly Rancher hard candies
- 8 lollipop sticks
Instructions
- Unwrap Candies: Remove all wrappers from the green Apple Jolly Rancher candies.
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a cookie sheet with wax paper or parchment paper and set aside.
- Break Candies: Place the unwrapped candies in a sealed plastic bag, removing as much air as possible. Use a rolling pin or hammer to crush the candies into small pieces.
- Fill Molds: Generously fill each shamrock mold cavity with the crushed candy pieces.
- Melt Candies: Place the candy mold on the prepared cookie sheet and bake in the oven for 9 minutes until the candies are fully melted.
- Insert Sticks: Carefully remove the mold from the oven and immediately insert a lollipop stick into the center of each shamrock-shaped candy.
- Chill: Allow the lollipops to chill and harden for 30 minutes in the mold.
- Unmold and Serve: Gently pop each lollipop out of the mold and enjoy your festive shamrock treats!
Notes
- Use a sturdy plastic candy mold designed for lollipops to ensure easy removal.
- Be cautious when handling melted candy as it becomes very hot.
- If you don’t have a hammer, a rolling pin works equally well for crushing the candies.
- Let the lollipops cool completely before storing them to maintain their shape and texture.
- These treats are great for parties and make fun gifts when wrapped in cellophane with a ribbon.
