Ingredients

Sugar
Corn Syrup
LorAnn White Liquid Food Coloring
LorAnn Sparkling Wine super strength flavor (or your favorite LorAnn super strength flavor)

Bright Star lollipop mold
Large lollipop sticks (6-inch)
Edible gold luster dust (found in the cake decorating section of craft stores and specialty cake and candy stores)
Large sucker bags - 4-inch x 6-inch (optional)

Directions

1. Lightly oil molds or lightly coat with non-stick cooking spray (use a paper towel to wipe off excess). Insert lollipop sticks as shown in picture (the lollipop sticks are slightly longer than the channel and the ends will need to hang off the edge.  Be sure the top of the stick is in the middle of the star).
2. To make the lollipops, follow the directions for either the Standard Batch Hard Candy Recipe or the Microwave Hard Candy Recipe adding several drops White Liquid food coloring and Sparkling Wine flavor or flavoring of choice.
3. Once lollipops are completely cool, remove from molds.  Using a new (clean!) paintbrush, lightly brush luster dust over the surface of the lollipops.  Tie on ribbons if desired.  Wrap individually in lollipop bags or store in a single layer in airtight containers. Store in a cool, dry place (do not store in refrigerator).
