Place the sticks in the lollipop mold. Be sure to place the top of the stick all the way into the middle of the lollipop mold so it stays in well.

In a medium saucepan, add the sugar and put over low/medium heat. (If you have a gas stove, I recommend low, if you have electric you could do medium). Once the sugar starts to melt, stir with a high heat spatula to keep from burning. Sugar clumps will form until the sugar turns into a liquid, continue to stir.

Once the sugar has completely melted into a liquid, add the butter. Be careful because steam will rise up quickly. Stir rapidly until the mixture is combined.

Once the butter is completely combined, add in the cream a little at a time. Be careful, because the cream is colder than the sugar mixture so more steam will rise up quickly. Stir rapidly to combine completely when each amount of cream is added.

Pour caramel into lollipop molds. Let cool completely to harden, remove from molds.
