Jolly Rancher Lollipops

My daughter spent the night at one of her friend's last night and they made Jolly Rancher lollipop.  She had so much fun making them that we decided to make them again today at home.  These are really simple and quick to make.

We took a pan,

and covered it with parchment paper.

Then we took a handful of Jolly Ranchers,

unwrapped them and laid three of them next to each other on the parchment paper.

I bought some lollipop sticks at Michael's,

and laid one on top of the Jolly Ranchers.

Next, we placed the pan in a preheated 350 degree oven.

We left them in the oven for approximately 4 minutes - until they were melted.  Then we removed them from the oven.

 I carefully pressed the lollipop stick into the melted Jolly Ranchers.

We let them cool for about 15 minutes then peeled them off of the parchment paper.  Here's our Jolly Rancher lollipop.

Wrapped with a little candy paper and tied with a bow.....these would make great party favors!  They sure taste great!
