Hard Candy Rose PopsWe always have an abundance of leftover hard candies in our house (usually watermelon and apple, here!) Here's how to recycle those candies into pretty roses you can eat or put on display.

Total Time: 10 to 15 minutes

Supplies:

  • bamboo skewers
  • wrapped hard candies (I used Jolly Ranchers)
  • bowl of water
  • gloves
  • scissors

Steps:

  1. Cut the sharp ends off the bamboo skewers.

  3. Do not unwrap candies. Put them in a microwavable bowl and cover with water. Microwave for about a minute to a minute and a half so it's hot and comfortable to the touch, not boiling.

  5. Put on gloves. Take one candy in the colour of your petal and knead while still in the wrapper until it's a bit flattened.

  7. Unwrap the candy and roll it around the end of the skewer to look like the middle of a rose.

  9. Continue this process, adding petals around the previous petal, making the next petal bigger than the last. You can use a tall cup or jar to stand it up in while you mold the petals. If they start hardening up, you can re-submerge them into the warm water.

  11. Now mold green candies into leaves and add below the rose. Squeeze against skewer and rose.

  13. Put aside and make more, if you'd like a bouquet. Try some different petal shapes.
