A while back we shared a simple Homemade Chocolate Suckers recipe that had only four ingredients to make.  They honestly tasted like a Tootsie Roll! It got me thinking that I should make some Honey Lemon Homemade Suckers that would be soothing on dry throats. With our allergies being out of control, it was the perfect time to make these!

LET’S MAKE homemade LEMON HONEY SUCKERS

I love Honey Lemon Tea when I’m a little under the weather. Because of that, I thought these would be great when I didn’t have tea, and frankly lemon is my very favorite flavor so I knew I’d love these.  

Check out how easy they were to make!
