My good friend Emily from Texas made these a while back and I was enthralled. I wanted to make them but was waiting for the perfect opportunity. I finally decided to make them for the Strawberry Lemon themed baby shower last week. I followed Emily’s directions exactly, but I think next time I may skip the ice bath. It seemed to cool down the lollipops a little too quickly! But it made some nice swirlies in the coloring when it got too thick to mix anymore and I knew I had mere minutes to form into lollipop shapes or end up with a bowl full of candy. Luckily I had Debbi, my friend to help quickly shape the lollipops! (*I’ll probably add more flavoring as well next time too.)
Close up of the swirl…oh so pretty!
How cute are they? After they had cooled I stuck them in little lollipop bags and tied the ends with raffia. So simple and pretty!
