These Patriotic Jolly Rancher Suckers are so festive for the 4th of July! Not only do they taste like your favorite Jolly Rancher flavors, they’re SO much fun for kids to make, too! My children love to pair up different colors and sprinkle combinations. Even though these are for Independence Day, you could totally make these for any holiday at all, or just for an every day fun activity!
How to Make Patriotic Jolly Rancher Suckers
You literally only need a couple items to make these! (The sprinkles are optional, of course.)
Ingredients and Tools for Jolly Rancher Lollipops
- Jolly Ranchers – Of course! Get a huge bag and have fun pairing the flavors together!
- Sucker Sticks
- Sprinkles – Only if you want to add them.
- Foil
- Cooking Spray
Instructions for Patriotic Jolly Rancher Suckers
First, preheat your oven to 250 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with either parchment paper or foil. Then spray with baking spray. This is very important, or the suckers might stick when they’re melted. Next, unwrap each Jolly Rancher and space each pair directly next to each other on the cookie sheet, with the longer sides touching. Be sure to leave room for the sucker sticks when you’re arranging them on the cookie sheet.
Bake for 6-8 minutes or until completely melted. After removing from the oven, immediately place the sucker stick on the melted Jolly Rancher. It will harden quickly.
Next, add sprinkles quickly before it hardens. If needed, gently press the sprinkles into the sucker. And that’s it! Enjoy immediately or wrap in plastic wrap to save for later.
