Halloween Candied Apples

Hey, everybody. Jimmy Kennedy and June Kennedy here with go outside and it is October and it’s almost Halloween. We’re going to try to make a few treats here. We’ve never made these before, but I think they’re going to be pretty good. They’re going to be fine. And the first one is just basically candied apples, but we’re going to try to make them black and we got some gummy worms to stick in them or do something with or just eat right.

It’s kind of her favorite. And I mean, I make candied apples a lot and caramel apples too. I love those. But this is going to be a little different. We’ll see what we got. We’re just going to heat up water and you go ahead and put that in there. The exact recipe will be on the website as usual. You got I think that’s like three-quarters cup of sugar.
It is a lot isn’t it look what it is but heat this to the candy crack stage like 290 degrees and that’s yep corn syrup like corn syrup that’s what kind of caramelizes the apple. But you might use a spoon for that. That’s like corn syrup. Get it all in there too. Yeah, then we’re just going to let that heat up, stir it up and get that going.

And so the deal is here, you have to stir constantly until the sugar dissolves. June’s just going to keep on it. It probably has dissolved. So now we’re going to add, and you can do this earlier, you can add the food coloring, you know, drop some black in there. You don’t have to do a whole lot like half a teaspoon or something like that.

How many drops? Go ahead, and see what you’ve got one more. That’s probably good news out of the purple, too. Sometimes purple gives it like a little more of a sheen. Makes it even darker for some reason. Did we use that one all up? Drop or two, that’s all it takes. Stir that up real well and get this thing back on. All right, folks, we got this at right at 290 we’ll check one more time it took a little while out here but we’ll check it one more time… there oh yeah it’s coating the thermometer.

It’s super hot you don’t want to touch that. So we just take our apples, and we got some sticks right off the apple tree. You grab that one. You can start dunking. You may have to use a spoon a little bit, too. Smells good, though. Doesn’t it? There’s another very cute. Oh, it’s awesome. It’s absorbing. You spread all over here.

I can tilt it for you. Just roll it in there. That’s a lot easier. Yeah, well, it looks really good. Sure does smell good. Do you want me to put a little bit on top for you? Yes, please. Oh, this is perfect. It’s sticky. All right, well, this looks and smells so good. Kind of spooky looking isn’t it? They look great.

June’s just going to put these gummies right on top of the apple. It looks super cool, but you can also, like, cut a hole in the apple and stick the gummy right out. That looks great. Perfect. Looks really good. And boom!
