Because I saw it on Pinterest... Project #1:

Jolly Rancher Lollipops

     Pinterest, Pinterest, Pinterest. Such a fun place to find new ideas! I'm sure that's just old news, but it's all new to me! While I was going through my feed, I saw this marvelous idea about making your own lollipops! They looked super easy to do plus they were made from Jolly Ranchers. (I've been going through Jolly Rancher withdrawals ever since I became a metal mouth, so this seemed like the perfect way to still enjoy them!) So my little sister and I embarked on our very first "Because I saw it on Pinterest" Project!

First, you'll need:

    

• Jolly Ranchers
• Lollipop Sticks
• Baking Pan
• Parchment Paper
• An Oven Preheated to 225 degrees

Once you've preheated the oven, line the pan with a sheet parchment paper and then place three candies of any flavor together. 

Don't forget to space them out so there's room for those lollipop sticks!

After that, stick them in the oven for ten minutes or until they look melted.

Once melted, take them out and place your lollipop sticks in them. Twirl the lollipop sticks until they're fully covered, and waaalllaa! You're done.

Let them cool for 20 minutes or so, and then enjoy!
