A while back we shared a simple Homemade Chocolate Suckers recipe that was only four ingredients to make. I was really surprised by how much my boys and myself really liked them. The 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!
I love Honey Lemon Tea when I’m a little under the weather so 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!
