Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2/3 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 10 drops orange food coloring
  • 8 drops pure orange oil
  • 10 lollipop sticks
  • Assorted candies, for decorating

Directions

Line three baking sheets with Silpats (nonstick baking mats), or grease them generously with vegetable oil. Prepare an ice-water bath. Combine sugar, corn syrup, and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan, and place over medium-high heat. Stir continuously to dissolve sugar. When the syrup comes to a boil, stop stirring and clip on a candy thermometer. Continue to cook, without stirring, until the mixture turns golden and reaches 300 degrees to 310 degrees. (hard-crack stage) on the thermometer, 5 to 7 minutes. Occasionally wash the sides of the pan using a clean brush dipped in cold water to prevent crystals from forming.

Remove the pot from the heat. Transfer the syrup to a 2-cup heatproof measuring cup. Using a heatproof rubber spatula, stir in the food coloring and orange oil until completely combined.

Working quickly, pour ten 3-inch circles of syrup onto prepared baking sheets. Press in lollipop sticks. With your fingertips or a toothpick, lightly press candies into the syrup. Set aside until completely cooled and hardened.

                Google: " Americolor Bright White Soft Gel Paste Food Coloring " to find white food coloring.

                I found they set better, were easier to pour perfect circles, and cooked faster if you eliminated the water.  I found the black food coloring at my local grocery store easy, but I couldn't find the white anywhere.  Make sure to let them fully harden overnight on a flat surface otherwise they will flop over as I learned the hard way.  Just because they're cold and hard they're night necessarily ready to stand upright.  I'd try putting them in the freezer next time to set up quicker.

                I bet the black and white are made with candy melts found at cake decorating and bakery supply stores.  You can flavor these also with peppermint and other oils.
