One of my favourite things to buy when i go away on holidays is a packet of boiled lolllies. They come in such nice fruity flavours which I LOVE! I've never tried to make them before but found this recipe that I thought I would share.

**Recipe for making boiled lollies!** **Ingredients** **Preparation method** No moulds?If you don’t have lolly moulds but still want to make fun shapes, simple grease and dust biscuit cutters set on top of a baking tray lined with baking paper. Carefully pour the mixture into the cutters and remove when just about cool.
 * 60g icing sugar for dusting
 * 400g caster sugar
 * 250ml water
 * 160ml golden syrup
 * 1 teaspoon peppermint oil, or other flavoured oil
 * 1 teaspoon any colour food colouring
 * 1) Generously coat a baking tray with icing sugar, and set it aside. To make the lollies, grease the lollie moulds and then dust them with icing sugar.
 * 2) In a heavy bottomed saucepan, stir together the caster sugar, water and golden syrup until sugar has dissolved. Bring to the boil over medium-high and cook to a temperature of 149 to 154 degrees C, or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms hard, brittle threads. Remove from heat, and stir in the flavoured oil and food colouring.
 * 3) Immediately pour the sugar mixture onto the prepared baking tray or lollie moulds.
 * 4) If making lollies, press a stick into each of the moulds and let them cool thoroughly before removing. If making sweets, when the mixture is cool enough for the outer edge to hold its shape, cut into bite size pieces with scissors. Let them cool completely, then store in an airtight container.

It's pretty amazing how they do it. Hope you enjoy the video! media type="youtube" key="p74kDYSdeKw" height="375" width="480" align="center"
