Thanks. So the 1 cup maple syrup, 1 cup corn syrup, 1 cup white sugar is a batch that yields 50 lollipops or is that what you get from 4 batches? Do they cool fast enough that the molds can be ready by the time the next batch is ready to pour? I think these would be a hit at my market. How much do you sell them for?

Around 300 taps on tubing, 25+ on buckets if I put them out
Mix of natural and mechanical vac, S3 Controller from Mountain Maple
2x6 W.F. Mason with Phaneuf pans
Deer Run 250 RO
Ford F350
6+ hives of bees (if they make it through the winters)

The 1 cup ratio is a batch and you get 50 lollipops out of that. Yes, they cool pretty quick. They are a big hit for my markets. I sell them 2 for $1.00, some people say my price on them are to cheap but at that price i still make great money.

Wow, that's a lot of pops for one batch. I'll need more molds than I thought. I'm definitely going to play around with these this winter and bring them to market next season.
I'm going to put out some maple sticks next week and see how they do. I'm going to sell those for 25 cents. That's what I get for my honey sticks. Without really seeing the size difference between a maple stick and a lollipop, I would think you could easily get a buck for each lollipop. I personally wouldn't think twice about giving my kid a buck to get one. Maybe I'm picturing something bigger like the big lobsters.
I wonder if my heat sealer will mold and seal a bag around the stick. Do you wrap in plastic wrap?
Thanks for the info. This is good stuff.

No I put them in the same bag as my molded sugar candy. So that the sticks stay clean and protected.

Ah, right. Put the whole thing in a bag. Better. Thanks for the tip.

What molds are you using from Leader, I was looking at them today, and they listed a 3, 5, and 6 count mold. Very interested in making these.Originally Posted by MapleGuy12
Thanks Jason
Any secrets about getting them out of the molds? Mine came out just not as nice as I wanted. Maybe I was inpatient?

I normally coat the mold with food grade glycerine
