How to Make Sprinkle Lollipops

The concept of lollipops has been around for centuries, according to the National Confectioners Association, even dating back to the cavemen, who collected honey on sticks. Samuel Born, the inventor of chocolate sprinkles, also devised the first lollipop machine that mechanically inserted sticks. Borrow his ideas and combine lollipops with flavored candy sprinkles to give a commercial product a personal touch.
