With just a few steps, you can use some of your leftover Halloween candy and make this seriously sweet treat that is an absolute crowdpleaser and a show stopper. Turkey Suckers should definitely be on the menu.
Turkey Lollipops are just so FUN. You just need a few ingredients to get started.
Ingredients For Turkey Lollipops
- Jolly Ranchers – orange, yellow, green, red
- Orange Tic-Tacs
- Candy eyes (note: candy eyes are hard to find locally – consider going online for purchase)
- Red hot candies
- Lollipop sticks
How To Make Turkey Lollipops
Preheat oven to 275 degrees Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and unwrap Jolly Ranchers.
Stick together 2 yellow jolly ranchers vertically and make sure they are touching. Then take your red, orange and green jolly ranchers and stick them above the yellow ones in a fan motion. Leave enough space so when they come out of the oven you can put a sucker stick in them.
Stick in oven for about 5-6 minutes. Keep a close eye on them and take them out when you get the melted desire you are wanting.
Immediately roll the end of a sucker stick in each lollipop towards the bottom. Quickly add the candy eyes, tic-tacs and redhots. If candy starts to harden, don’t worry!
Get a lighter and heat where you want the candies to go. Hold for a few seconds. It will melt the candy just enough so you can stick the candies on. Set at room temperature until hardened, about 10 minutes.
Enjoy!
