melted dark chocolate

Vanilla Latte Tiger Lollipops:

Coffee lollipops crushed into shards (recipe here)
1 ¼ cups sugar
½ cup water
¾ cup corn syrup
dash of vanilla extract
lollipop sticks
melted dark chocolate

Instructions

To make the lion lollipops:

Using a toothpick and some melted dark chocolate, draw on the lion’s eye, nose and mouth.
Wet a paper towel and moisten the area around the face of the bear-shaped Green Tea Lollipops. Gently attach some cotton candy all around the perimeter of the bear’s face, to create the lion’s mane.

To make the tiger lollipops:

Pour the sugar, water, corn syrup and vanilla extract into a pot, and set it to medium heat. Stir with a rubber spatula until everything is melted and combined.
Then increase the heat to high, and attach a candy thermometer to the pot. Heat the sugar until it reaches 310F, stirring occasionally.
Fill a bear-shaped silicone mold halfway with the candy mixture. Using a pair of tweezers, stick some shards of coffee lollipops into the melted candy to resemble the stripes of a tiger. Work quickly before the candy sets, but be careful not to burn yourself. Once all of the stripes are in place, pour in the remaining melted candy.
Then stick one lollipop stick into each shape, holding the stick in place until the candy fully sets. This will take around 15-20 minutes. Then gently unmold the lollipops from the mold.
Using a toothpick and some melted dark chocolate, draw on the tiger’s eye, nose and mouth.
