Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- Store-bought or homemade lollipops – quantity as desired
- Citric acid – about 1-2 teaspoons or to taste
- Edible glitter – 1-2 teaspoons
- Water – a few drops to dampen lollipops
For Presentation
- Clear cellophane wrap – enough for each lollipop
- Ribbon – to tie the wrapped lollipops
- Small food-safe paintbrush – 1
Instructions
- Dampen the lollipops: Using the small food-safe paintbrush, lightly moisten the surface of each lollipop with a few drops of water. This helps the citric acid and edible glitter adhere evenly.
- Apply the sour coating: Mix the citric acid and edible glitter together in a small bowl. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the dampened surface of each lollipop, ensuring full coverage for a consistent sour and sparkling effect.
- Let dry: Leave the lollipops on a clean surface or rack until they dry completely, typically about 30-60 minutes, so the coating sets firmly.
- Wrap and decorate: Once dry, individually wrap each lollipop in clear cellophane. Secure the wrap by tying it with a ribbon, adding a charming Honeydukes-inspired finishing touch.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of citric acid according to your preferred sourness level.
- Use edible glitter to ensure the candy is safe to consume and looks magical.
- If making homemade lollipops, let them cool and harden fully before applying the sour coating.
- Store the finished pops in a cool, dry place to maintain their texture and appearance.
