Ingredients

• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Light corn syrup
• 0.25 cups Water
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon oil
• 4 drops Red food coloring
• 12 pieces Lollipop sticks
• 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone mat, and lightly spray it with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

Arrange the lollipop sticks on the prepared sheet, spacing them at least 2 inches apart.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, combine granulated sugar, light corn syrup, and water. Stir gently to combine.

Step 4

Place the saucepan over medium heat, and bring the mixture to a boil without stirring.

Step 5

Using a candy thermometer, cook the mixture until it reaches 300°F (hard crack stage). This process takes around 15 minutes, so monitor the temperature closely.

Step 6

Once the candy reaches 300°F, immediately remove the saucepan from the heat.

Step 7

Working quickly, stir in the cinnamon oil and red food coloring. Be cautious, as the mixture is extremely hot and may release steam when adding the cinnamon oil.

Step 8

Carefully spoon small amounts of the candy mixture over the top of each lollipop stick on the prepared baking sheet, forming circular lollipop shapes.

Step 9

Allow the lollipops to cool and harden completely at room temperature, about 20-30 minutes.

Step 10

Once hardened, gently peel the lollipops off the parchment or silicone mat and enjoy!
