Black Poison Swirl Candy Apples: Easy Treats for Spooky Fun

Make these spooky Black Poison Swirl Candy Apples for a fun Halloween treat that is easy to make and sure to impress.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium apples
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon black food coloring
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (optional, for dipping)

Instructions

  1. Begin by washing the apples and removing the stems. Insert sticks into the top of each apple.
  2. In a saucepan, combine sugar, water, and corn syrup. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  3. Once boiling, continue cooking until the mixture reaches 300°F (hard crack stage) using a candy thermometer.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in black food coloring and vanilla extract.
  5. Dip each apple into the candy mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, and allow excess to drip off.
  6. For an extra touch, dip the apples in melted chocolate after the candy coating has set.
  7. Let the apples cool on a wax paper-lined tray until fully set.

Notes

  • Ensure the apples are dry before dipping to help the candy adhere better.
  • Feel free to decorate the apples with sprinkles or edible glitter for an even spookier effect.
