To kick things off, grab your non-stick cooking spray and grease up that cookie sheet of yours. At this point, you’ll then want to grab your lollipop sticks and strategically put them on that cookie sheet.
After that, grab a rather small bowl for mixing. In it, toss your Jell-O mixture. After that, throw in your hash, and start mashing and mixing all of the contents together, until the hash is such a fine powder, it expertly blends in with the original Jell-O mixture.
When you’re happy with how all that looks, you should fire up your heat source to a “Low-to-Medium” setting. Then, you’ll grab a saucepan, and place it over that very same heat source. This is when you should firmly secure your candy thermometer to the side.
You will now want to add in your sugar, butter, and corn syrup. Stir these ingredients together to the best of your ability. You will want to continue that blending motion, until you begin to notice that the contents are boiling. At this point, you can stop all of that stirring, and ever-so-slightly increase the heat setting.
Keeping a watchful eye on your candy thermometer, you will know it is time to move forward in the recipe once your contents hit a temperature of about 260°. When you hit that mark, you can then dump in your infused Jell-O mixture from before. Don’t forget to remove the candy thermometer first, though.
This is the part of the recipe when you need to stir more than you ever have before. I really mean it, too. Give it all you got, people. If you slow down, the contents could cool down, which is the last thing that we want to happen at this time. It’s all about heat during this particular step. So, keep that in mind as you stir your heart out.
Once you feel like you’ve done an adequate job of combining both of those elements, you may then proceed to grab tablespoons of this concoction at a time, and placing them strategically atop your previously-placed lollipop sticks, currently resting atop that sprayed cookie sheet.
When you’ve completed that brief, but all-too important, step, it becomes a waiting game, as these babies need to cool down before they can be enjoyed.
