Preparation:

Step 1
• Grease 2 large baking sheets with butter. Place 10 lollipop sticks on each sheet, leaving even distance between them. Stir the sugar, corn syrup, and butter in a small saucepan over low heat until the sugar dissolves. Bring to a simmer over low heat, stirring frequently. Continue cooking for 7 minutes, or until a candy thermometer registers 275°F (135°C). Add the gelatin and stir until smooth. Using a metal measuring spoon, quickly pour the syrup onto the end of each lollipop stick. Cool completely. Wrap each lollipop in plastic wrap and store in an airtight container.
