"butter" suckers anyone?

I wanted to make a special Valentine treat for all the cuties in Brandon's class, so I thought that homemade suckers would be a great idea. Well, my sister Angie (the queen of homemade suckers!) helped me to make these yummy little red numbers. For the first time we tried using real butter to grease the sucker "molds," not knowing that it would make the suckers taste like butter! Yikes! I didn't try one before hand and so as the kids were eating them in class I hear Brandon say, "Mom! This tastes like butter!" I was so embarrassed. All that hard work down the tubes. Oh well, next year I am BUYING suckers!
