By: Alanna Story from TheSweetStoryLine 

Time: 35-40 minutes 

Yields : 20-24 small lollipops 

Ingredients 

• 1 cup of granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup of light corn syrup

• 2-4 drops of lorann oils orange food coloring

Sugar coating

• 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon  of cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon citric acid

Decorate with a dash of edible gold glitter. 

Directions 

Combine sugar, corn syrup, and water in a 2-4quart saucepan pot. And stir with wooden spoon. Place on medium heat and stir until sugar has dissolved. Bring mixture to a boil WITHOUT stirring. When syrup temperature reaches between 250-260 degrees Fahrenheit add 2 drops of orange food coloring. Do not stir. Boiling action will incorporate color. Remove from heat at 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Add in 1/2 tsp. Orange flavoring and stir carefully. Avoid rising steam it can burn. 

Carefully pour sugar mixture into lightly greased small round flat lollipop molds. Lightly sprinkle on the cinnamon sugar to the back of the lollipops. Let cool completely before taking them out of molds takes about 15 minutes. Lollipops will be good for about a month in an airtight container
