a perfect rainy day thing to do! the colors make any day better!
how to make LOLLIES
you will need: jolly ranchers, candy sticks, parchment paper, foil & a cookie sheet
1) lay a piece of foil on cookie sheet. cover foil with a piece of parchment paper.
2) unwrap candies and place side by side on parchment paper in your choice of color & flavor combinations. use three candies together for extra large lollies, and only two candies together for regular lollies.
3) heat candies in oven for about 5 minutes at 200 degrees. keep a close eye on the candies and take them out as soon as they've barely melted together. if you leave them in too long they will melt too much and you won't be able to put a stick into the lollie. alter the cook time accordingly.
4) carefully take cookie sheet out of oven. immediately lay candy sticks into place on melted candies. slowly twirl in melted candy to coat the stick and so it will hold in the lollie. they're hot! don't burn yourself but you will have to work fast before the candies harden.
5) let the lollies cool about 30 minutes before eating or wrap up in clear cellophane bags, tie with ribbon and give as gifts or party favors!

cute, except all of those "colors" have been proven to be poison to our bodies - especially red dye #40, which has been linked to ADHD. just spreading the education. read this site for a start http://blog.fooducate.com/2010/06/30/articial-colors-in-food-a-poison-rainbow/ ...everyone wonders why childhood disorders are on the rise...
