Ingredients
  • 1 Cup Sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons Water
  • 1/3 Cup Honey Beeyond the Hive preferably!
  • Cinnamon Essential Oil Or lemon would be great too *Optional
  • Sucker Sticks Optional
  • Candy or Sucker Molds Optional
  • Candy Thermometer
Instructions
  1. Have a cookie sheet ready with parchment paper. You can then place your candy/sucker molds on the cookie sheet for any spills or if you choose not to use molds you can pour circle dollops on your parchment paper for a freeform candy sucker. 

  2. Get all of your molds ready to go! You can put the sucker sticks in now or after you pour. It’s all up to you! You can spray your molds with cooking spray too but I didn’t find it necessary.
  3. Add the sugar, water and honey to a pan. On medium heat stir constantly and get that sugar dissolved!

  4. Once your sugar is dissolved then turn up the heat! Put in your thermometer, DO NOT STIR and let it boil. You want your temp to hit 300.
  5. Once you hit 300 degrees on your candy thermometer then you can add 5-10 drops of cinnamon, vanilla, lemon ect if you'd like! Or you can do without. Gently stir your flavor once you've added it. 

  6. Remove from heat and let the bubbles settle down for a minute or two. This can get tricky because you don't want it to be too hot or too cool. Just a minute or two then you can start pouring in your molds! 

  7. Let you candy/suckers harden and cool. Then enjoy!
