Create spooky Black Poison Candy Apples for Halloween. A fun, eerie treat that’s perfect for your spooky celebrations.
Ingredients
6 medium apples (Granny Smith or your choice)
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon black food coloring
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
6 wooden sticks or skewers
Instructions
-
Prepare apples by washing and drying them thoroughly. Insert sticks into the apple tops.
-
In a saucepan, combine sugar, water, and corn syrup. Stir and heat over medium until sugar dissolves.
-
Increase heat and cook until syrup reaches 300°F (hard crack stage).
-
Add food coloring and cinnamon, then stir well.
-
Dip each apple into the syrup, swirl to coat evenly, and let excess drip off.
-
Allow apples to cool on parchment paper until the coating hardens.
Notes
-
Ensure apples are completely dry before dipping to prevent syrup from slipping off.
-
Use a candy thermometer for precise temperature control.
-
Let the syrup cool slightly before dipping for a smooth coat.
