Lolly Pops
2 cups sugar
1 cup corn syrup
1/2 cup water
1/2 tsp. coloring
1 1/2 tsp. peppermint extract
Put the sugar, corn syrup and water in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat without stirring until a candy thermometer shows 305 degrees F. or until a little of the mixture pulls into hard and brittle threads. Cool it a little, then add the colouring and peppermint. Mix it well.
Place 4 dozen sucker sticks, or popcicle sticks on a greased cookie sheet. Do not put them too close together. Drop some of the candy syrup on each skewer, about as large around as an egg. If the syrup gets hard before you have all the suckers made, melt the mixture again over a low burner. Leave them for an hour, then chill them. When cold, wrap them in waxed paper.
