Ingredients:

Hawaiian Style Li Hing Lolli Drops

  • Heat resistant candy molds, or mini muffin tin
  • Non-stick cooking spray
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon flavor extract (limited selection at local supermarkets, exotic flavors can be found at specialty food stores)
  • 2-3 drops gel food coloring (in school color of choice)
  • 32 white or red seedless li hing mui (1 per lolli drop approximately 32)

Directions:

  1. Generously spray candy molds or mini muffin tins with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. For a stronger li hing flavor, sprinkle li hing powder to taste inside the molds.
  3. In a medium sauce pan, combine sugar, water and corn syrup.
  4. Over medium heat stir until dissolved.
  5. Continue cooking and stirring frequently until a candy thermometer reads 300°F and a drop of syrup in cold water forms a brittle thread.
  6. Immediately remove from heat and add flavor and color, being careful to avoid splatter.
  7. Stir until color is uniform.
  8. Pour into molds.
  9. While the candy is soft, place one li hing mui into the center of each mold and gently press down.
  10. Cool completely; remove from the mold by turning upside down and gently tapping the back of the molds or tin.

Makes approximately 32 drops.
