Agree, it’s easy to go to the store and buy Chupa Chups or another treat, but the sweetness will not be completely natural. It is for this reason that many mothers are thinking about how to make a lollipop on their own in order to pamper their child. The process of creating a candy does not take much time and effort, and all the ingredients are widely available and cost a penny. To start cooking, you need to take care of the molds for future treats.

The right choice of mold for lollipops

Today it is difficult to find a suitable form for lollipops even in a hypermarket, since the product is becoming a thing of the past, and purchased sweets are taking its place. However, if you are smart, suitable dishes can be found in the kitchen of any housewife.

To end up with a beautiful flat-shaped lollipop, just pour the contents into a non-stick pan in small circles, insert a stick or toothpick, and then wait for it to solidify.

An excellent option for making lollipops will be silicone molds for baking muffins, aluminum molds for cakes and cookies. You can also use a regular plastic candy box mold.

So that the lollipops do not stick to the molds, the dishes must be lubricated with a large amount of vegetable / butter. Otherwise, you will not be able to take out the candy in its entirety. Give preference to heat-resistant forms that will not melt under the influence of hot caramel.

How to make sugar cockerels

The recipe is considered to be a classic, because it is based on the most natural sugar and nothing else. Many mistakenly believe that the taste of the product does not even reach the four, however, this is far from the case. Lollipops are the basis of the basics of homemade delicacies, they are literally saturated with mother's care.

Required Ingredients:

• filtered water - 175 ml.
• granulated sugar - 350 gr.
• powdered sugar - 30 gr.

Cooking technology

1. Take a small enamel pan, preferably with a thick bottom, so that the composition does not burn. Place filtered water in a container and bring to a boil over medium heat.
2. Gently pour in powdered sugar and granulated sugar, at the same time stir with a spatula or ladle. Turn off the fire. Do not let the syrup boil, otherwise it may burn.
3. Throughout the cooking process, stir the composition and watch the melting of granulated sugar. As soon as all the crystals disappear, and the composition becomes homogeneous, turn off the stove. You will be able to notice how bubbles begin to rise from the bottom of the pan, this will be evidence of the end of the preparation of the syrup.
4. Now you need to start creating lollipops. To do this, prepare the desired form, grease it with vegetable oil and pour the syrup in small portions.
5. Watch carefully as the mass solidifies. When the bottom of the composition hardens, stick a toothpick or stick, and then wait until it has completely hardened. Such a move will make it easy to get the lollipops without damaging their structure.

The recipe is designed for those who prefer a delicate version of sugary caramel. In the preparation of milk formula, there are some nuances that must be taken into account.

Required Ingredients:

• granulated sugar (preferably cane) - 210 gr.
• whole milk or heavy cream - 110 ml.
• butter - 45 gr.
• vanilla powder - to taste

Cooking technology

1. Prepare a non-stick, heavy-bottomed saucepan; if wet, wipe clean. Pour milk or cream, bring the composition to a boil. If you are using milk, you need to add extra butter. In cases where heavy cream is included in the recipe, the oil disappears.
2. After the appearance of the first bubbles, reduce the heat, slowly pour in the vanillin and cane sugar, constantly stir the composition.
3. Since it will not be visible through the mixture whether the sugar crystals have dissolved or not, act "by touch" with the help of tableware. Watch the shade, the syrup will turn brown (coffee) hue, this will signal the end of this stage.
4. After that, it remains only to pour the syrup into molds and wait until it solidifies completely. As with sugar candy, insert toothpicks for easy removal once a sticky mass has formed.

According to the taste sensations, cockerels of this kind resemble fruit ice, only they do not melt at room temperature. Sweets can be cooled or frozen for the delight of children.

Required Ingredients:

• granulated sugar - 165 gr.
• ground cinnamon - to taste
• vanilla sugar - to taste
• freshly squeezed juice - 90 ml.
• honey (optional) - 5 gr.

Cooking technology

1. Choose the best pan with an enamel coating and a thick bottom. Pour in cherry, plum, orange or strawberry juice (they will give the candies a rich color). Add brown sugar.
2. Turn on the stove on a slow fire, stir the mixture constantly so that it does not burn. Collect the remaining syrup from the edges of the container, otherwise the burnt particles will later end up in the candies.
3. After about 3 minutes of cooking, add vanilla sugar and ground cinnamon, mix again. Turn off the stove as soon as you see the first bubbles rise.
4. Pour the syrup into molds, wait for the formation of a viscous consistency and insert toothpicks. Delicious lollipops will be ready in a few hours.

Making lollipops at home is not difficult. Most importantly, do not turn on the stove at maximum power so that the composition does not burn. Choose a good pot for mixing and heating ingredients. Replace components with similar proportions.

I did an experiment. I cut the kumquat into thin slices, blotted all the moisture and juice well with a paper towel. Then, when she made candies, she laid kumquat rings on top of the caramel, poured a little more caramel on top. This way of decor also has a place to be. The main thing is that there should be absolutely no moisture in the decor, otherwise the lollipops will start to "cry".

Properly cooked caramel keeps well at room temperature. For the sake of interest, I left part of the lollipops on the table, the other part was placed in the refrigerator for a day. During this time, nothing happened to them, the lollipops remained absolutely dry. It all depends on the humidity in the refrigerator. But there is no need for such storage. If you need to decorate a cake with candies, then it is better to do this shortly before serving or before giving the cake to the customer. At the same time, the lollipops should not touch the cake itself, otherwise they will melt.
