Take note
Please note that edible glitter should be used sparingly and in moderation. It is meant for decorative purposes only and not intended to be the main ingredient. Also, be careful while handling the apples as the caramel coating may be hot. Lastly, some people may have sensitivities to certain types of glitter, so it's always best to check before serving to guests.

1

Prepare the Candy Apples

Start by washing and thoroughly drying your apples. It's important to remove any waxy residue to ensure the caramel adheres properly. Remove the stems and insert wooden skewers into the tops of the apples, leaving enough to hold onto while dipping.

2

Make the Caramel Coating

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 cups of sugar, 1/2 cup of water, and 1/2 cup of corn syrup. Stir until the mixture reaches a boil, then let it simmer until it reaches the hard crack stage (around 300°F/150°C). You can test this by dropping a small amount of the mixture into cold water. If it hardens instantly and becomes brittle, it's ready!

3

Dip the Apples in Caramel

Once the caramel is ready, carefully dip each apple into the mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated. Allow any excess caramel to drip off before placing the coated apple onto a silicone mat or parchment paper to set. Repeat this step for all the apples.

4

Sprinkle on the Edible Glitter

While the caramel is still slightly tacky, sprinkle your desired amount of edible glitter all over the apples. You can use a variety of colors or stick to one for a more unified look. Don't be afraid to get creative and have fun with it!

5

Let Them Set

Allow the candy apples to cool and set completely before serving. This will usually take about 30 minutes to an hour. You can speed up the process by placing them in the refrigerator if desired, but make sure to let them come back to room temperature before serving for the best texture.

6

Enjoy the Glittery Goodness

Once the candy apples have set, they are ready to be devoured! Serve them at parties, special events, or enjoy as a fun and delicious treat whenever you need a touch of sparkle in your life. Don't forget to share them with friends and family for maximum joy!
