So let’s get started making the jolly rancher turkey suckers.
Ingredients
- Jolly Ranchers – orange, yellow, green, red
- Orange Tic-Tacs
- Candy eyes
- Red hot candies
- Sucker sticks
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 275 degrees.
2. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
3. Unwrap Jolly Ranchers.
4. Stick together 2 yellow jolly ranchers vertically, make sure they are touching.
5. Take your red, orange and green jolly ranchers and stick them above the yellow ones in a fan motion.
6. Stick in oven for about 5-6 minutes. Keep a close eye on them and take them out when you get the melted desire you are wanting.
7. Immediately roll the end of a sucker stick in each sucker towards the bottom.
8. Quickly add the candy eyes, tic-tacs and redhots.
If suckers start to harden, don’t worry, get a lighter and stick the flame carefully where you want the candies to go to and hold for a few seconds.
It will melt the sucker just enough so you can stick the candies on.
9. Let them set at room temperature until harden, about 10 minutes.
