These gorgeous homemade lollipops are a next level up from the classic swirl lollipops! Using edible flowers, these candy treats are sparkling and colorful marbles, perfect for party favors or gifts!

Happy Valentine’s Day! We wanted to make some sweet and charming homemade rose lollipops using edible dried flowers and flakes of edible gold! They turned out so pretty with the dried rose petals and specks of gold leaf throughout. Personally, I think these would be great party favors for events! You can wrap them up individually and tie them with a bow or message. The homemade lollipop recipe is super easy too, but you must use a candy thermometer. Enjoy and stay charming!

I love the way the dried roses look mixed with the gold. We added it in the mold before we poured the mixture. These are the molds we used.

How To Make Homemade Rose Lollipops

Prepare the silicone candy molds with a light coat of cooking spray in the mold.
Combine sugar, water, and corn syrup over medium heat and stir until sugar is dissolved.
Using a candy thermometer, cook the sugar mix until it reads 300 degrees, or hard crack .
Remove mixture from heat, then add flavoring.
Stir for a minute or two to make sure that the flavoring are mixed in.
Add dried rose petals and gold leaf to the candy mold.
Pour the candy into the molds and add in the lollipop sticks.
Let the mixture cool and harden before removing.
If you used a plastic sucker mold made for hard candy, then just pull the lollipops out of their molds.

Lollipop Molds

There are some great molds out there, silicon is perfect for lollipops (link above). It’s best to get molds with spaces for the sucker sticks.

Top Tips For Homemade Lollipops

Hand wash the molds in warm soapy water and dry thoroughly
Make sure you remember the lollipop sticks!

Humidity is not your friend, when storing hard candy. If you are having humidity problems, then try sealing the candy in airtight containers with some silica gel.
