Coffee Stirrer Sticks Recipe
  • Prep: 10 min. Cook: 15 min. + cooling
  • Yield: 12 Servings
10 15 25

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup brewed coffee
  • 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking cocoa
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 12 wooden lollipop or craft sticks
  • Plastic wrap
  • Red and green narrow ribbons

Directions

  • In a large heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, coffee, corn syrup, cocoa and cinnamon. Cook over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved, stirring constantly. Cook over medium heat, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reads 290° (soft-crack stage), about 7 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • Immediately stir in vanilla, then pour into a greased 2-cup heat-proof glass measuring cup. Working quickly, pour tablespoonfuls into circles on a greased baking sheet and lay a stick in each circle. Allow to cool until hardened. When cooled, wrap with plastic wrap and tie with ribbon. Store in an airtight container. Yield: about 1 dozen.

Editor's Note: We recommend that you test your candy thermometer before each use by bringing water to a boil; the thermometer should read 212°. Adjust your recipe temperature up or down based on your test.
