Jolly Rancher Suckers are so easy to make and the best part is your kids can help. We made these for my son's end of year party and his friends loved them!
It's best to use Reynolds Non-Stick Foil to line your cookie sheet when you make them. The boys helped unwrap the candy and we laid them out in a rectangle, you can do any configuration you want.
When you place them on the pan you need to alternate or space them so you have room to insert the sucker sticks after they melt, see my picture below.
Place them in your oven for 5 minutes and they will melt together. After you pull the homemade suckers out, immediately lay the sucker stick into the melted goo and twist it to cover it in the melted candy.
Now you can see why you need to alternate and leave room on your pan. The kids can do most of the steps as long as you are careful they don't get burned. I love how they turned out, they look like mini stained glass windows. We also made them in Cross shapes. He attends a Catholic School so we gave these to his class. If you make them in the cross shape you will need to set the middle candy down and cook it for 1 minute first then lay the other candy's beside it and cook for an additional 5 minutes. If you don't the middle one will not melt enough.
We wrapped them in cellophane bags with ribbon and put them with a fruit of the spirit bookmark.
