For the holiday season, I like to use seasonal sprinkles, but the possibilities are truly endless! You can also use crushed candy canes for a festive wintery twist. Don’t forget to incorporate your favorite flavorings! Adding cherry or strawberry extract can infuse the lollipops with a burst of fruity flavor. Consider other extracts like peppermint, vanilla, or even almond. The key is to choose clear extracts to maintain the lollipop’s clarity.
