Make only three or four lollipops at one time. Line a baking sheet with foil. Place desired cookie cutters on foil, at least 2 inches apart. Divide crushed candies evenly among cutters, approximately 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons per lollipop. Candy layer should be 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Add small decorative candies or edible rose or other flower petals to crushed candies. (If using flower petals, make sure they are covered with a layer of the crushed candy.) Bake in a 350 degree oven for 6 to 8 minutes or till candies are completely melted. Col 30 seconds. Remove cookie cutters with tongs, allowing melted candy to spread slightly. Quickly attach a stick to base of each lollipop, twisting the stick to cover lollipop end with melted candy. If desired, press more small candies or flower petals into hot lolipops. Cool. Peel foil from lollipops. Makes 8 Posted to recipelu-digest by GramWag@aol.com on Feb 8, 1998
