Ingredients
  

For the Mixture
  • 2 cups Granulated Sugar Substitute with erythritol or stevia for sugar-free.
  • 1 cup Corn Syrup Can be replaced with agave syrup or glucose syrup.
  • 1 cup Water Essential for dissolving sugar.
  • 1 packets Kool-Aid Powder Choose your favorite flavors or mix for layered tastes.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda Do not omit for fizzy effect.
For Assembly
  • 10 pieces Lollipop Sticks Ensure sturdiness.
  • 1 mold Silicone Mold Lightly grease for easy release.
  • 1 unit Candy Thermometer Essential for temperature monitoring.

Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • Candy thermometer
  • Silicone mold
  • Lollipop sticks

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Gather all your ingredients and ensure silicone molds are lightly greased. Set up your candy thermometer.
  2. In a medium saucepan, mix sugar, corn syrup, and water. Stir over medium heat until fully dissolved, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in Kool-Aid powder until incorporated. Add baking soda slowly while stirring, enjoying the fizz.
  4. Return to heat, bringing to a boil while monitoring the temperature closely until it reaches 300°F (hard crack stage). This takes about 8-10 minutes.
  5. Pour the mixture into prepared silicone molds, insert lollipop sticks, and let cool for 30-45 minutes to set.
  6. Gently twist and pull each lollipop from the molds. Optionally roll in sugar for extra sweetness and shine.
