Ingredients

Directions

Lay a silicone sheet on a baking pan, place the sticks on the pan and place 3 pieces of gummy Worms above the tip of each stick to form a gummy worm triangle.

Combine the sugar, corn syrup, and water in a clean, dry small saucepan. (It is best to use a heavy gauge pan and preferably with a pour spout.) Bring to a boil over high heat and cook without stirring until the mixture reaches 305 degrees F or "hard crack" stage on a candy thermometer. Occasionally wash down the sides of the pan with a clean pastry brush dipped in water to remove any sugar crystals that are clinging to the sides of the pan.

When the mixture reaches 305 degrees F, remove the pan from heat and dip the bottom of the pan into an ice bath for a few seconds to stop the candy from cooking. Add the extracts and food coloring and stir very gently with a wooden spoon so the color is evenly distributed.

Pour the syrup over the gummy worms and just over the stick. Cool the candy for at least 20 minutes.

Lift the lollipops off the silicone and either serve immediately or wrap in an airtight container.

    These came out great! I used candy corn & licorice to make pumpkin faces. The color (clear orange & texture was excellent and the kids loved them. I wonder if the person who had the mixture turn dark brown used high enough heat to bring it up to 305 degrees. I do agree that it can be a mess to clean, but I just scraped out as much as I could when it was hot and soaked the pan overnight and it was fine.

    The mixture turned dark brown, almost black before it reached 305 degrees, so I didn't use gummy worms. I poured the syrup on the silmat and put Halloween sprinkles on them. Word of caution, if you do this, do NOT use your finger to push them in to the syrup! You WILL get a nasty burn!! Also, used about a tablespoon of lemon extract to get the lemon flavor. Had to boil the pot I used in another pot to get the hardened candy off the inside and outside. Really not worth the time and trouble.
