Jolly Rancher Suckers-diy

Homemade suckers awesome!  This site http://artcanthurt.typepad.com/ gave me the directions on how to do this.  We love jolly ranchers over here.  So homemade suckers sounded good!

What you need:  jolly ranchers, sucker sticks, aluminum foil, cooking oil spray, cookie sheet.

What I need:  the first time I tried this I put the jolly ranchers on wax paper(the direction said parchment paper, I didn't have that) and they stuck.  The pictures I took of the jolly ranchers on the pan are with the wax paper, BUT DO NOT USE IT.  I went back and put foil on the cookie sheet and to be safe sprayed a little olive oil cooking spray down.  Then laid down 3 jolly ranchers together and repeated for as many suckers as you want.  Big brother counted out three jolly ranchers for each sucker.  I only made 3 the last time, so if it didn't work I didn't have to throw them all away again.  Pre-heat oven to 200 degrees.  Put cookie sheet with jolly ranchers on it in the oven for 10 min or until melted.  When you take them out swirl the sucker stick into the melted jolly ranchers.  Then let cool for 30 min.  Now you have yummy homemade suckers to eat.
I was in a hurry today so I used my camera on my cell again,lol:-)  For anyone that reads my post you know I mention this often.  The quality of the photos are not good but you get the point.

 The three flavors he counted out for me to put on the cookie sheet.  I figured he could use his counting skills while we did this.

 Then add the stick and let cool.

 He kept jumping around so excited to try his sucker, the picture is blurry but you can see him with the sucker.

Yummy, jolly rancher suckers.
