- Lightly grease molds with cooking spray; wipe with a paper towel to remove any pools of oil so molds are evenly coated. Set lollipop sticks into position.
- Combine sugar, water and corn syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat; stir with a rubber spatula to blend. Bring mixture to a boil.
- Attach candy thermometer to saucepan; boil syrup, without stirring, just until it reaches 300ºF or hard-crack stage. Remove from heat; working quickly, transfer mixture to a 1-qt glass measure. Add extract and food color; gently stir with a spoon to blend. Carefully pour into prepared molds, making sure the sticks are covered with mixture. Cool completely in molds before removing lollipops.
