This will need to be cooked on the stove. So, you will need to supervise them using the stove. Or, you can do that part yourself.

Remember that lollipops are hard candy can be a choking hazard for small children. Please do not give these to young children.
It’s very important that you use a candy thermometer for this recipe. If you don’t heat the mixture to the right temperature, it won’t set up properly.

‘Bring it to a boil to the right setting stage using your thermometer” is very vague. What is the specific temperature to get to?
I also wondered about the exact temperature or stage on the thermometer to stop the cooking or boiling. I'm not a candy maker, so this would help me too. Thanks!
