Print recipe
Easy Homemade Lollipops and Edible Candy Flowers are a fun craft to do with kids, or friends! Surprise someone special with an edible bouquet of flowers!
Ingredients
Flower Lollipops
- 4 hard jolly rancher candies
- 1 jelly bean
- 1 lollipop stick
Candy Flowers
- 2 fun size air heads (I like using 2 different colors)
Note
Recipes are for ONE flower each. Make as few or as many as you like!
Directions
| Flower Lollipops | |
| Step 1 | |
| Preheat oven to 225 Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the 4 unwrapped jolly ranchers into a flower shape, with all of them touching in the center. Bake about 8 minutes, keeping close eye on them to make sure they do not spread too much. Once the candy has melted enough and the desired flower shape is achieved, remove from the oven. Immediately press a jelly bean into the center of the flower, and place the lollipop stick in the desired place, rolling slightly to make sure it sticks to the lollipop. Allow to cool completely before removing from baking sheet. (about 10 minutes) | |

| Step 2 | |
| Remove 2 air heads from the wrappers and cut in half lengthwise. Start rolling the first candy strip to make the center of the flower. Press the next strip next to the end point of the first one and continue rolling until it is the size you like. Carefully bend back some of the petals to open the flower and make them look more realistic. **While you can press them onto a lollipop stick for a short time, I noticed that after awhile, they will soften and won't stick as well. These work best as a garnish or laid on a flat surface. | |

Okay these are the cutest thing I have ever seen! I am going to head to Target pick up a few American Greeting Cards and make these lollipops! So all my girlfriends better be ready for some delicious candy!

We love homemade lollies. These are absolutely adorable. I’d eat a million of them.
My sis lives across the country and for every holiday we send one another cards, usually from Target. Coincidently we put what’s called “chocolate lollies”inside them. It’s a tradition in our household.

This is such a cute idea! And my local Target is the only place that I go to buy my greeting cards. 🙂 Love the 5% discount that they are offering right now.

These are too cute for words! I miss having Target in Canada… I always make a beeline for the nearest one whenever I visit the states so I can get my fix. 🙂
