Jolly Rancher Candy Apples
Ingredients:
50 Jolly Rancher hard candies (assorted flavors)
6 wooden candy apple sticks
1 tablespoon water
Cooking spray (for parchment paper)
Directions:
Prepare the Apples: Wash and dry the apples thoroughly. Remove stems and insert wooden candy apple sticks into the tops. Set aside.
Preheat & Line: Preheat oven to 275°F (135°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking spray.
Melt the Candy: Place unwrapped Jolly Rancher candies in a heatproof bowl or small saucepan. Add 1 tablespoon of water and melt in the oven for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Alternatively, melt on the stovetop over low heat until fully liquid.
Coat the Apples: Dip each apple into the melted candy, turning to coat evenly. Let excess drip off, then place on the prepared parchment paper.
Cool & Set: Let apples sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes, or until the candy shell hardens. Enjoy!
