Directions
Ingredients
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup water
One 3-ounce box strawberry gelatin mix
Nonstick cooking spray
1 bag bubblegum, such as Double Bubble
Directions
Prepare cupcake or brownie molds by spraying them with nonstick cooking spray. Stick 1 piece of bubblegum onto each end of a lollipop stick and place them into the molds.
In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, butter, and water together over medium-high heat. Stir together so that the sugar dissolves, and then brush down the sides of the pan with a dampened pastry brush to wipe away any sugar from the sides of the saucepan. Without stirring the mixture, bring to a boil and let it cook until the candy mixture reaches 275 degrees. Once it reaches 275 degrees, remove from heat and allow the candy mixture to stop bubbling. Stir in the gelatin mix. Working quickly, pour the candy mixture into the molds and spin the sticks around so that the bubblegum is completely coated (you can also use a metal tablespoon to do this part). Allow to cool for 10 minutes and then wrap in individual plastic wrappers or with plastic wrap.
