Yield Makes 1 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 cups sugar
2/3 cup light corn syrup
Assorted candies and seeds, such as red and black licorice whips, candy corn, and pepitas (hulled pumpkin seeds)

Steps:

  • Line 3 baking sheets with Silpat nonstick baking mats or parchment paper. Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside.
  • Bring sugar, corn syrup, and 1/4 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Don't stir, but occasionally wash down sides of pan with a pastry brush dipped in cold water to prevent crystals from forming; boil until mixture turns golden and registers 300 degrees to 310 degrees (hard-crack stage) on a candy thermometer, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Immediately set pan into ice-water bath to stop the cooking (syrup will steam vigorously); let sit about 20 seconds. Swirl pan 2 minutes more to cool.
  • Working quickly, pour syrup onto baking sheets, forming circles (3 to 31/2 inches in diameter) and spacing pours about 4 inches apart. Press in lollipop sticks. With your fingertip or a wooden skewer, lightly press candies and seeds into syrup. Let stand until completely hardened and cooled.

I'm glad I tried this recipe. It's a great way to use up leftover cake batter.

These were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good.

I'm not a big fan of chocolate, but I really enjoyed these pops. The cake is light and fluffy, and the chocolate filling is just the right amount of sweetness.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pops turned out flat and dense. They didn't taste very good either.

I've made these pops several times and they're always a crowd-pleaser. They're so unique and delicious, and they're always a hit at parties.

These were a disaster. The batter was too thin and the pops didn't rise at all. I ended up throwing them out.

These invisible pops were a hit at my last party! They were so light and fluffy, and the chocolate filling was the perfect amount of sweetness. I'll definitely be making these again soon.
