DIY Jolly Ranchers Lollipops

Hello! Today we're making DIY Jolly Ranchers lollipops. You will need:

• Baking sheet 
• Parchment paper
• Popsicle sticks or wooden skewers
• Jolly Ranchers- 3 per lollipop

First, line your baking sheet with parchment paper. Preheat your oven to 275º F.

Then, unwrap your Jolly Ranchers and place them close together onto the baking sheet. Make sure there is enough room on the sides for it to spread out. 

After that, put them in the oven for 5-6 minutes or until melted.

Take them out of the oven. Quickly, take the lollipop sticks and press them onto the Jolly Ranchers so they don't fall off.

 Finally, let them completely cool and harden. Take them off of the parchment paper, and you're done! These are how mine turned out:

This DIY was super easy and took about 15 minutes to make from start to end. I love how bright and vibrant the colors of the candy are! I hope you try this one out!
