Poison Candy Apples Recipes

SNOW WHITE POISON CANDY APPLES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Insert a lollipop stick into the stem end of each apple.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.
• Add the sugar, water, and corn syrup to a medium saucepan fitted with a candy thermometer. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then cook until the temperature reaches 300°F (150°C), about 5 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the red food coloring.
• Dip the apples in the syrup to coat entirely, then set on the prepared baking sheet. Let cool until the candy hardens, about 5 minutes.
• Add the green candy melts to a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on low power in 20-second intervals, stirring between, until melted. Stir in the canola oil until smooth. Let cool slightly, then transfer to a squeeze bottle. Let cool for 5 minutes more, or until the candy sets quickly when squeezed out of the bottle.
• Use the melted candy to draw eyes and a mouth on each apple, then outline the rest of the apple above the very bottom and fill in the space outside the eyes and mouth.
• Let set for 10-15 minutes, until completely hardened.
• Enjoy!

POISON CANDIED APPLES

Steps:

• Wash and dry the apples and remove the stems. Insert a wooden twig into each apple about halfway through. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Add the sugar, corn syrup, 1/2 teaspoon of the blue food coloring, 1/2 teaspoon of the red food coloring and 1 cup water to a small saucepot and stir together. Attach a candy thermometer to the pot and bring the mixture to a boil. (Do not stir once the sugar starts to boil.) Boil until the mixture reaches 295 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes. Immediately remove from the heat and add the remaining 1/2 teaspoon blue food coloring and 1/2 teaspoon red food coloring, using a wooden skewer to swirl a figure eight in the pot and being careful not to blend.
• Immediately dip the apples into the mixture, carefully tilting the pot as necessary to coat. Allow any excess coating to drip back into the pot, then place the apples on the parchment-lined baking sheet to set, about 1 hour.
