Equipment
- Saucepan
- Parchment Paper
- Lollipop Sticks
Ingredients
Candy Coating
- 6 apples Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji
- 2 cups Jolly Rancher hard candies Assorted colors
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup
- 2 tbsp water
- neon food coloring Optional, for extra brightness
- 6 lollipop sticks or wooden skewers
- nonstick cooking spray For parchment paper
Instructions
- Wash and dry the apples thoroughly, removing any wax so the candy sticks properly. Insert lollipop sticks or skewers into the tops.
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper and lightly spraying with nonstick cooking spray.
- Unwrap Jolly Rancher candies and place them in a saucepan with corn syrup and water. Heat over low-medium heat, stirring occasionally until fully melted (about 5-7 minutes).
- If using food coloring, stir it into the melted candy mixture for an extra vibrant effect.
- Dip each apple into the melted candy, twirling to coat evenly. Allow excess to drip off, then place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Let the apples set at room temperature for about 10 minutes until the candy shell hardens.
Notes
For extra flair, drizzle additional melted Jolly Rancher colors over the apples before they set, or roll them in crushed candies for added crunch!
