Made these lollipops and they came out great. My only problem is, now they are tacky and I cannot slip them into the bag I bought for them. Any suggestions?
So glad you enjoyed the recipe, Elaine! You can use a small piece of wax paper on the back of them when packaging them. Otherwise, they may still be tacky because they haven’t fully dried.

These look great! I noticed you don’t add any flavoring. Would it be possible to add some type of extract? Perhaps vanilla, mint or even papaya?
Absolutely, Buckley! You can add any type of extract to get these lollipops a boost of flavor. Enjoy!
