How to Use Under the Sea Homemade Lollipops

The kids will go crazy over these Under the Sea Suckers! Lollipops aren’t just for eating, they can also serve as a decorative element. Below are a few of my ideas.

CENTERPIECE: Place a long piece of styrofoam on the center of the table. Stick the lollipops in a staggered way. Use tiny battery operated white lights and weave them around in and out of the suckers. Using a light blue mesh fabric, weave the fabric to hide the styrofoam and the lights. Add fun little items like fish, coral, and shells.

DESSERT TABLE: Because the suckers are top heavy you will need to lay the suckers down. You might also need to place them in cellophane treat bags. OR if you have room, styrofoam works great too.

PARTY FAVOR: This ones easy, place the one sucker into a cellophane treat bag, use a twist tie to close, and hand out to the kids as they leave.

How to Make Edible Sea Glass

Throwing an adult tropical beach party? Really drive the theme home and fill candy dishes with edible sea glass! Place unwrapped individual pieces of Jolly Rancher hard candy on lined cookie sheet, spaced out enough to allow for the candy to melt without touching the candy next to it. Use the temperature as listed. Melting time may vary due to only melting one candy and not three.

Can I use a Candy Mold?

YES! You can totally use a candy mold. Make sure the candy mold is meant to be used with hot candy and in the oven. DO NOT USE candy molds that are meant for chocolate. Use the same temperature as listed. Place unwrapped hard candy in a zip top bag, hit with a heavy item (like a rolling pen) until the candy is in pieces. Fill candy well with candy pieces. Because the mold is will make a thicker lollipop the melting time may vary from the original recipe.
