Homemade Lollipops! 🍭
Have you ever made custom lollipops before? Here’s our take on it using Twinkle products. We used, food colouring, shimming powder, Gold & Silver and Frozen Magic sprinkle mixes to create these tasty delights.
Let's get started!
You’ll need a lollipop mold. We suggest using a heat-resistant reusable one:
Put lollipop sticks and sprinkles into the mold.
Melt the Isomalt and water over medium heat until it's melted completely and looks clean and transparent. Keep over high heat and boil until around 140°C - 160°C. (add the food colour in when it is boiling.)
Pour the mixture into the mold.
Cool down for 5-10 minutes at room temperature. Add sprinkles and shimming powder to each lollipop mold while the mixture sits.
Immediately pour the hot Isomalt into the mold.
Let it sit for 45 to 60 minutes.
Let the lollipops cool completely at room temperature before carefully unmoulding them
If you’re not eating them right away, wrap them in plastic wrap to prevent stickiness. Add them to cute gift bags with bows for a final touch! Enjoy.
