In the past year I’ve become really into baking and though my mom gave up sucker making long before I left the house I was determined to revive the tradition. I ordered a bunch of lorann flavored oils online, along with packaging and a few molds. My first batch was for St. Patty’s (four leaf clovers) which turned out beautifully. I was determined to make these even better. (recipe from cooks.com)
Strawberry Peach Suckers
As a child my mom used to make suckers, we had the old fashioned metal molds and the only character I remember distinctly was a dinosaur. I can’t recall the actual process of making the suckers but I do remember that we used to make them and sell them in all different flavors at summer garage sales for between 50 cents and a dollar and they were delicious!
