Ingredients:
- 6 small apples, washed and dried
- 6 wooden sticks
- 1 (14-ounce) bag Jolly Rancher hard candies, unwrapped
- nonstick cooking spray or parchment paper
Instructions
- Prepare the Apples: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat with nonstick cooking spray. Insert a wooden stick into the top of each apple.
- Melt the Jolly Ranchers: Place unwrapped Jolly Ranchers in a medium saucepan over low heat. Stir occasionally until candies are fully melted and smooth, about 8–10 minutes.
- Dip the Apples: Working quickly, tilt the pan slightly and dip each apple into the melted candy, rotating to coat evenly. Let excess drip off, then place the apple on the prepared baking sheet to set. Allow to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- You can mix Jolly Rancher flavors for a multi-colored candy apple effect.
- Be careful when melting candies—they will be very hot.
- Store finished apples at room temperature for up to 2 days.
