Jolly Rancher Candy Apple
Jolly Rancher Candy Apple gives you the tart taste of a jolly rancher wrapped around a crunchy apple.
Ingredients
- 27 oz Jolly Ranchers about 120 pieces
- 6 medium apples granny smith, fuji or gala
Instructions
- Wash and dry the apples very well. A lot of apples have a waxy feel on the skin, you’ll want to rinse that off. Twist off any stems and push the dowel or stick through the top of the apple. It takes a bit of muscle but once you hit the core, it is easy to push through.
- Unwrap all of one of the colors of candy and place in a microwave safe glass measuring cup or bowl. One apple takes approximately 20 candies to cover it so keep that in mind when unwrapping the jolly ranchers. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes or until all the candy is melted and boiling. Do not stir.
- Using the stick as a handle, carefully dip the apple into the melted candy. Work quickly as the candy hardens quickly. Twist and turn the apple as that will help pop any air bubbles that may stick to the side of the apple. Allow the excess candy to drip off and place the coated apple onto a piece of parchment paper to harden.
- Repeat step 2 and 3 with the other apples and Jolly Rancher flavors. [To remove any remaining melted candy in the measuring cup, simply add boiling water, scrape the sides, and pour out.]
- Once the candy apples have hardened, use some edible glitter to make them look sparkly. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
Safety First! Oven mitts are a necessity for this recipe. Melted candy is like lava and will cause major burns if it touches your skin. Please be careful. This recipe is great for kids to eat, but an adult MUST handle the hot candy.
