Homemade Jolly Rancher Suckers

I know that my blogs are usually about beauty and DIY crafts, but when I saw this post on Pinterest I had to try it myself.

What Pinterest Said:

 Looks extremely simple, just line up the Jolly ranchers on a wax paper sheet and put them in the oven for five minutes.
I highly disagree with this method, this is an example of how Pinterest doesn't always turn out like you thought. Luckily, I did this myself and adjusted the recipe so that it does work!


What I say:
All you need are Jolly Ranchers, Popsicle sticks, wax paper, and Pam.
1. Preheat your oven to two hundred degrees
2. Cover a cookie sheet with wax paper and lightly spray Pam on it to keep the Jolly Ranchers from sticking to it when you are all done. (I didn't use Pam because the Pinterest instructions did not include this and my Jolly Rancher suckers had wax paper all along the backs)
3. Align the Jolly Ranchers on the wax paper the way you want them, in groups of three
4. Place your Popsicle sticks on top of the jolly ranchers, with the ends of the Popsicle stick sticking out both ways
5. Put the tray into the oven, and leave it there for about ten minutes
6. After ten minutes the Jolly Ranchers should be melted a bit, and easily manipulated, so using a fork, press down on the stick in between the jolly ranchers so that the Jolly Ranchers will continue melting around the sick
7. Wait another ten minutes before you take out the tray, you will know when they are ready when the Jolly Ranchers have flattened out and melted over the top of the Popsicle stick.
8. Take your Jolly Rancher suckers out and wait another twenty minutes for them to cool, (if you don't let them cool the Popsicle stick could become detached from the Jolly Ranchers)
9. Carefully pull the suckers off the wax paper sheet, hopefully the Pam helps because as I said earlier, I didn't use Pam and the wax paper stuck to the back of the suckers, If the Pam doesn't help you either use a butter knife and scrap off the paper, or you can run the back under cold water which will loosen the wax paper making it easier to peel off

 I liked this recipe because it required little prep time, was very easy, and is delicious! Pinterest didn't give very accurate directions for this recipe, so just keep that in mind when you are pinning, not everything you see on Pinterest is so simple and straightforward!
