2 cups sugar

1 cup water

2/3 cup light corn syrup

1 tsp cinnamon extract

3 or 5 drops liquid red food color

You’ll also need:

candy thermometer

heart-shaped lollipop molds

4- to 6-in. lollipop sticks (depending on size of molds)

1. Lightly grease molds with cooking spray; wipe with a paper towel to remove any pools of oil so molds are evenly coated. Set lollipop sticks into position.

2. Combine sugar, water and corn syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat; stir with a rubber spatula to blend. Bring mixture to a boil.

3. Attach candy thermometer to saucepan; boil syrup, without stirring, just until it reaches 300*F or hard-crack stage.

4. Remove from heat; working quickly, transfer mixture to a 1-qt glass measure.

5. Add extract and food color; gently stir with a spoon to blend. Carefully pour into prepared molds, making sure the sticks are covered with mixture.

Cool completely in molds before removing lollipops.

Makes 6 large (3 1/2"), 8 medium (2 1/2") or 12 small (1 1/4") lollipops.
