Ingredients for Cursed Candy Apples:
Method of preparing the Cursed Candy Apples:
-
Wash your apples, then place a lollipop stick or twig inside each one.
-
Gently melt the white chocolate in the microwave. Once melted, spoon over the apples and allow the excess to drip off.
-
Place them on a tray lined with parchment paper and allow them to dry for an hour. The chocolate needs to be completely set before you can add the blood caramel.
-
To make the blood caramel, place the sugar and water into a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Heat on a low/medium heat until the sugar has dissolved. Once dissolved, turn up to medium heat and let it simmer for 4-5 minutes until you start to see a light caramel color. Turn off the heat, and whisk in the red food dye to reach your desired blood color.
-
Spoon the caramel over the top of your apples and let it drip down the sides for added effect. You need to work fast here as the caramel hardens quickly.
-
Let your apples cool and set, then enjoy.
