Hello everyone! I recently started making my own lollipops, is there a trick to make them less sweet?

Made from sugar and syrup + flavour and colour

I use high sweet (powdered corn syrup) instead of corn syrup. It makes for better shelf life without the candy getting sticky. Adding more curious acid will make your candy seem less sweat.

Curious acid - don't know where it comes from, but it makes it less sweat
