Prepare a silicone lollipop candy mold with lollipop sticks. This is so satisfying. Just laying out the sticks is so much fun.
In a medium saucepan, stir the sugar, water, and corn syrup over medium heat. Stir constantly to bring the sugar syrup to a boil. When the syrup begins boiling, stop stirring and insert a candy thermometer.
When the syrup reaches 295 degrees, immediately remove it from the heat and stir in the powdered drink mix.
Carefully pour the candy into the molds. Allow to cool completely before removing from mold.
Store between layers of waxed paper in an airtight container. The wax paper helps keep everything fresh! If you don’t have wax paper, you’ll want to grab some at the store. I always keep the extra wax paper on hand.

How to Store Hard Candies

Anytime air gets into food, it can make it hard and not very tasty. Storing hard candies in an airtight container will be your saving grace and save you so much time and money.
