12 lollipop sticks
Gummy candy (worms, fish, dinosaurs, whatever you can find)

3/4 cup light corn syrup
3/4 cup water
flavoring oil or extract ( remember oils are VERY strongflavored! Use just a little.) use about 1/4 tsp oil of up to 2tsp extract.
yellow food coloring

1. Arrange 6 of your sticks on the cookie sheets so they won't be to close to each other.
2. Put 1 -2 gummy candies at the top of the stick.
3. Stir sugar, corn syrup and water in apan over med- high heat until sugar dissolves.
4. Now WITHOUT stirring boil this until a candy thermometer reads 300*-310* F. IMMEDIATELY remove from heat. Wait until boiling stops. Now add your exract or oil and a drop of food coloring.
5. Working very quickly spoon 2 - 3 TBSP of syrup over the candies and top of the sticks. You can also use molds if you have them. Don't worry if the candy melts a little it will get firmer again as the syrup cools.
