Football Field Lollipops

 Are you ready for some football..lollipops?

Hubby and I have our own Super Bowl tradition. Since it's always on a Sunday, we are at church for the first half. I tape it so that we don't miss any of the good plays, plus we have time to pick up a pizza or wings and of course snacks.

There is just one small obstacle to overcome in my plan. 

Or should I say say several? Smart phones!

You've heard of them..everybody has one..I have one.

But on this particular day, if I see you with one, I'm running the other way!

I've had Braves scores given away before I got the chance to get home and see the game for myself. I love my Braves baseball. And just for this one day, I love football too. So please, if you see me coming and you know the score..don't tell me. But if it does happen, all is not lost. At least I still have my game day goodies! 

Today I made sweet little football field lollipops.

Enjoy the game everyone and may your team win!

Airheads (white), green Jolly Ranchers, chocolate covered almonds, canned white icing and lollipop sticks.

 I am a seriously terrible piper, so instead of worrying about a piping catastrophe, I ended up using fondant and a mold to make my numbers. Click here to see the mold I used. Just dust the mold with powdered sugar and press in a rolled rope of fondant. I froze mine for a few minutes, used a small metal spatula to scrape off the excess and easily popped the numbers out!

 I'm using Airheads white mystery flavor to make my football field lines.

I just rolled it slightly with my fondant roller and used a sharp knife dusted with powdered sugar to cut them.

 Piping skills are nearly non-existent. #thestruggleisreal

 Preheat oven to 275 degrees. You will bake candies for about 7 minutes. 

Just keep an eye on them so they don't over melt.

Place the unwrapped Jolly Ranchers candies on a parchment lined pan. Place in preheated oven. When melted, remove from oven and gently twist in lollipop stick. Let cool completely on pan.

I attached the fondant and Airheads by lightly brushing water on the back of the candy. They will stick easily. I used just a dab of corn syrup on the lollipop to attach the "football".

GO TEAM!

Wishing You All A Blessed Day

Shark Week Lollipops!

"Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water...."
I made Shark Lollipops!

I was 10 years old back in the summer of 1975 when the first Jaws movie came out. Haha, I remember thinking about that when we made our first trip to the shore the following summer. It must not have affected me too much...I loved the ocean!

In a few short weeks we will be taking our family vacation to the beach with all our kiddos. It will be made even sweeter this year as we have our brand new addition to the family..Miss Lydia has made her debut!

In the meantime, we're watching Shark Week on the Discovery Channel and I have the perfect snack..
SHARK Lollipops! Now that's something you can sink your teeth into!

Click here for another shark craft!

Walmart has these adorable blue gummy sharks @ less than a dollar a bag. You will also need hard Jolly Ranchers and white candy pearls.

You will also need a baking sheet, parchment paper and lollipops sticks. I like the 8 in. or longer sticks.

Place the Jolly Ranchers on your parchment lined baking sheet. I crushed the green candies in a baggie and placed between the blue to mimic ocean plants.

Immediately upon removing from oven, insert lollipop stick and place candies. Let cool.

I'm going up for some air!

Stay Sweet & Enjoy Shark Week!

Snowman Lollipops, Impact Jackets & Prayer!

God is good and prayers work!

It feels good to be back. I was quite sick over the holidays, but that seems pretty minimal to me now. 

On the same day my husband and I are preparing to travel north to see my big brother, my daughter gave us a scare with a visit to the emergency room. 

As our family prayed we got her call assuring us she and the baby are just fine. Praise the Lord! 

A little after midnight on Friday, we get the call that my brother Mark is in surgery. As he was riding his motorcycle home Friday evening, a pick-up truck struck him causing him to hit another vehicle and crash his bike. The truck never even paused. Other motorists came to his aid and for that we are so thankful. 

My brother suffered extensive injuries which will require numerous surgeries. The doctors assured us the news could have been much worse.

If you or someone you love is a motorcyclist or even a bicyclist, you will want to share this with them. 
Impact Jackets. I wish every rider would consider wearing one.
Mark's doctors say the Impact Jacket absolutely helped to save his life.
 My niece purchased the jacket for her Dad several years ago. 

We all agree it's the best gift she ever gave him! 

To all my praying readers out there, I would love it if you would join me in praying for my sweet big brother and his wife and children. Thank you all so much!

Crafting these sweet little snowman lollipops right here in the middle of winter will warm your heart..I know they did mine.

 Items needed for snowman lollipops. You will also need lollipop sticks.

 I think the Jelly Belly brand candy corn works best, but of course you can use any brand.

 Super simple and easy fondant scarf.

  My favorite Airheads snowman ever comes from Meaghan over at the Decorated Cookie.

Hmm..the pink cheeks look a bit uneven. Ahh..oh well!

 A little practice never hurts..

Place Jolly Ranchers on parchment lined baking sheet.

Bake @ 275 for 7 minutes.

Immediately upon removing from oven, insert lollipop stick and place the snowman in the center of the melted candies. Working quickly, place snow flake sprinkles. I also added some sugar sprinkles.

As the tree sprinkles were an afterthought, I attached those with a dab of corn syrup. The natural tack of the Airheads allowed the scarf to adhere to the candy on it's own.

 Praying you all have a Blessed and Safe New Year from

Pumpkin Patch Lollipops!

Jolly Ranchers Lollipops..yes, I've made them many times.

 Just unwrap a few Jolly Ranchers, pop them into a 275 degree oven for seven minutes and add a lollipop stick for instant cuteness. 

But today..since we are getting ready for fall, I added a few little sweet candies to kick up the cute factor.

 Pumpkin Patch treats are on the menu!  

Welcome to our Pumpkin Patch!

I am using yellow chewy Spree for the moon.

 Begin by assembling the M&M candy pumpkins. I used the peanut and pretzel varieties. You could also use the Jordan almonds. Unroll a section of the licorice wheel and snip tiny little pieces for the eyes. Attach to M&M with a paintbrush dipped in corn syrup. Use a food writer to draw the mouths. Set aside. 

Aren't we adorable?!

Rainbow Twizzlers worked perfectly for the pumpkin stems.

Heat oven to 275 degrees. Place Jolly Ranchers candies on parchment lined baking pan. Bake for about 7 minutes.

 Remove from oven and gently press in candy decorations.
I used Wilton sprinkles for the stars.

Now just press in the stems and let cool completely in pan.

Happy Lollipopping
