Homemade Jolly Rancher Lollipops

 

Ingredients/Materials

Preheat oven to 275° F. Line cookie sheet with a piece of aluminum foil. Unwrap and place Jolly Ranchers together in groups of two to five. Leave enough space in between groups that they won't melt together and so that you have room to place a stick in them as they soften. Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven and let the Jolly Ranchers start to melt slightly together, approximately five minutes. Then, have an adult remove from the oven and quickly twist the sticks into the melted Jolly Ranchers before the candies harden.
