When my grandsons were young, they LOVED lollipops, so I bought a large bag of them so when they visited they could enjoy one - or two - or three - now and then! But, then we discovered they had Red #40 in them, so I had to throw them away. I won't write this post about the dangers of Red #40, but will say there does seem to be evidence it effects the brains of children and causes hyperactivity - leading to children being diagnosed with ADHD. (You can read more about it at this link if you like.)I have been careful to read labels and if something has Red #40 - I do not buy it. Which made it really difficult to find lollipops for they sweet boys I love. So, I looked on Pinterest and found a recipe for making lollipops (check this link for the recipe)! I also found one for Rock Candy (check this link for the recipe)
Have you ever made lollipops? Do you have a favorite recipe?
