Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Kool-Aid Lollipops
  1. Begin by gathering all your essential equipment: medium saucepan, candy thermometer, silicone molds, and lollipop sticks. Clean and dry your utensils thoroughly. Lightly grease the silicone molds.
  2. In your medium saucepan, combine granulated sugar, corn syrup, and water over medium heat. Stir the mixture consistently until the sugar completely dissolves, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Reduce the heat to low and stir in your chosen Kool-Aid powder. Add the baking soda, stirring vigorously as it fizzes and bubbles.
  4. Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil. Monitor the temperature closely with your candy thermometer, aiming for the hard crack stage at 300°F (150°C). This typically takes about 5-10 minutes.
  5. Carefully pour the hot candy mixture into your pre-greased silicone molds. Insert a lollipop stick into the center of each mold and allow the lollipops to cool for 30-45 minutes until fully hardened.
  6. Once the Kool-Aid Lollipops have cooled, gently twist each lollipop and pull it out carefully. Enjoy these vibrant treats!
