Bubble Gum Pops

Special Equipment:

Lollipop Molds/Silicon Cake Pop Pan

Lollipop Sticks

Pastry brush

Candy Thermometer

Ingredients:

1 cup granulated sugar

½ cup light corn syrup

¼ cup butter

¼ cup water

One 3-ounce box strawberry gelatin mix, such as Jello

Non-stick cooking spray

1 bag of bubble gum (such as Double Bubble)

Prepare the molds by spraying them with nonstick cooking spray. Stick 1 piece of bubble gum onto each end of the lollipop sticks and place them into the molds.

In medium saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, butter, and water together over medium-high heat. Stir together so that the sugar dissolves, and then brush down the sides of the pan with a dampened pastry brush to wipe away any sugar from the sides of the saucepan. Without stirring the mixture, bring to a boil and let it cook until the candy mixture reaches 275 degrees (use a candy thermometer).  Once it reaches 275 degrees, remove from heat and allow the candy mixture to stop bubbling. Stir in the gelatin mix. Working quickly, pour the candy mixture into the molds and spin the sticks around so that the bubble gum is completely coated (you can also use a metal tablespoon to do this part). Allow to cool for 10 minutes and then wrap in individual plastic wrappers or with plastic wrap.
