Peppermint Lollipops Recipe

In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dissolved.

Continue to cook the mixture until it reaches a temperature of 300°F (hard crack stage) on a candy thermometer.

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in peppermint extract and a few drops of red food coloring.

Carefully pour the hot mixture onto a silicone mat or greased baking sheet, creating small circles. Immediately insert a lollipop stick into each circle.

Allow the lollipops to cool and harden completely before removing them from the mat or baking sheet.

Serve and enjoy!
