One of my favorite childhood memories is every Halloween my mother would make us popcorn balls and candy apples. Of course once we got older and the more health conscious she became this practice was put to an end. This year in spite of my doctor's request to watch my sugar I am going to bring this tradition back and indulge myself making the most lavish candy apples for Halloween.
Here are 2 great recipes
Ingredients
- Halloween sprinkles and small candies, for decoration
- 8 craft sticks, twigs or cinnamon sticks
- 8 crisp apples
- 1 1/3 cups candy melts in orange and green
- 1 1/3 cups chocolate candy melts
Preparation
Line a large cookie sheet with waxed paper. Pour sprinkles and candy into small bowls.
Insert stick into stem ends of each apple. Make sure sticks are tightly secured.
Place each color of candy melts in a separate microwave-safe, 2-cup measuring cup or bowl. To melt, work with one cup of candy at a time and microwave on medium for 1 minute. Stir and then microwave in 15-second intervals until totally melted.
Holding apple by stick, dip it into melted candy, swirling until apple is fully coated. While coating is still wet, dip apple into sprinkles or sprinkle small candies all over apple. Place finished apple on prepared cookie sheet to set for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 day before serving. Repeat with remaining apples and candy.
Ingredients
- 8 wooden craft sticks
- 8 medium Gala apples
- 2 (6.5-ounce) packages caramel apple wraps
- 1 (16-ounce) chocolate bar
- 16 ounces vanilla bark coating
- Orange paste food coloring
- Toppings: colored sprinkles, chopped peanuts, black writing gel
Preparation
Insert craft sticks into apples. Cover each apple with 1 caramel wrap.
Microwave at HIGH 15 to 20 seconds. Cool.
Melt chocolate bar in a small saucepan over low heat.
Dip each apple into chocolate; let dry.
Melt vanilla bark coating in a small saucepan over low heat; stir in orange food coloring.
Dip or drizzle each apple with vanilla coating mixture. Decorate with desired toppings, and let dry.
NOTE: For testing purposes only, we used a Ghirardelli chocolate bar.
