Just a note on the flavourings - they can be purchased at Bulk Barn in Canada - I’m not sure about Wal-Mart or Michaels (I was at Michaels yesterday, but I didn’t see them (I wasn’t looking terribly hard though)).

If I find them anywhere else, I’ll post and let people know!

Off to try your wonderful recipe, Marie - I’ve tried three other batches (from one recipe) and they’ve all come out bad… but I have faith in yours! :)

Kim - That is a good question for the lollipops. When I was young, we used extracts too. But I like to use the flavorings that are in the tiny bottles, specifically made for candy making. I have purchased my flavors from a few places. Walmart has some in their wedding/cake section, kind of by the sewing and crafts. I have bought some at Roberts Crafts in their baking section, that is if you live in Utah. I bet Michaels Crafts may have some too and they are located all over the U.S. Joann’s Fabric too. Then I have also bought some at a Cake and Candy supply store, that specializes in cakes and candy.

Here is a link to Joann’s Fabric and they sell them online: http://www.joann.com/joann/catalog.jsp?CATID=cat213846&PRODID=xprd72785

I could make 2-3 batches per bottle, depending on the amount of flavor I wanted. I hope this helps. Good luck. They are super fun to make.

Where do you typically find your flavorings? I’m thinking that “extracts” work and got one to try out the flavoring with my munchkins, but I was thinking that there have to be other flavors available than the measly pickings at our local walmart…. :)

These look great! Lollipops are on my list to try this Christmas season. I hadn’t thought of using molds. Yours turned out so cute.

I just made some new ones and burnt the first batch. Watch your thermometer or else it will go even a little too high. I could smell the burnt and with the watermelon flavor, it just didn’t hide the burnt taste.

Also, I did try some in a plastic mold and it melted the mold. You will have to use metal molds, or no molds at all, just sticks. Good Luck.

Stephanie - They are small, but the flat ones are good to lick.

Lindsey - I am so glad this reminds you of home. The taste of the cinnamon suckers really bring me back to childhood!

Muffin - These sucker molds are great, but I do love the look of the “Rustic” ones. They are very homemade looking. Yum Yum.
