I used to make this every Christmas, each flavor was a different color. Very good flavor. If you live in a humid area, keep candy in a sealed container or it will stick together.

Looks delicious but seems a little too sweet for my taste.

Be careful! The sugar mixture gets really hot!

I tried this recipe and it didn't turn out well. The candy was too hard and brittle.

These turned out really pretty! I would suggest using a higher ratio of Jolly Ranchers to Life Savers. Mine were a little sour.

I gifted these to my family and friends during Christmas. Everyone loved them! I ran out of lollipop sticks and had to improvise. Toothpicks worked surprisingly well.

This is soooooo yummy! They are super easy to make and fun too! I only had red, orange, and yellow hard candies on hand so mine turned out looking like a traffic light. My kids got a kick out of that.
