Servings 12
Ingredients
- 36 red and pink jolly ranchers
- 12 lollipop sticks
- eyeball candy and sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 275 degrees F. Place parchment paper down on a baking sheet.
- Place 3 jolly ranchers together, making sure they are touching. Leave about 1-2 inches apart for each lollipop. Depending on how many you are making you might need to make a couple batches. You should be able to fit 6-8 on a full size baking sheet.
- Place in the oven for 4-7 minutes, or until jolly ranchers are lightly melted. You need to really keep a eye on these as they can melt into one big blob quickly. Start at 4 minutes and then pull them right when you see they have the perfect lollipop shape. Mine usually take 6 minutes.
- Remove from oven and immediately place a lollipop stick on the end of each. Roll the lollipop stick gently around the lollipop so the melted jolly rancher covers it.
- Working quickly before candy hardens, decorate monster faces on the lollipops with eyeballs and sprinkles. Tip: I like to lay the faces out on a plate so I can quickly grab them and they're ready to go.
- Allow to cool for 1 hour before eating or placing in bags.
