Liquor Lollipops Lip-Smacking Hard Candy Recipes

Kristina Maury founded Luxe Lollies in 2012. Bored with the traditional candy flavors found in stores (cherry, orange, lemon, grape, etc...), she decided to create a line of gourmet hard candies in more sophisticated flavors like Pear Rosemary Champagne Spritzer (best-seller), Lavender Vanilla Mint and Pistachio Rose Cardamom (to name a few).In addition to its lollipop sales, Luxe Lollies started a charity called Project Lollipop after being contacted by a few customers who, for various reasons, have non-functioning stomachs and can no longer eat solid food but can still enjoy lollipops (note: some people with non-functioning stomachs can't eat sugar). Because Luxe Lollies come in a large variety of flavors, they are a unique way for people in this predicament to enjoy the taste of foods they can no longer eat. Starting out, Project Lollipop will donate a few batches a month to ill children who need a sweet-pick-me-up. In March 2014, Project Lollipop sent its first batch of lollipops to Matthew Cech, a nine-year-old boy with mitochondrial disease who loves lollipops. www.luxelollies.com
