Glow Up

Glow in the Dark Jolly Rancher Candy Apples

Ingredients:

6 Granny Smith apples

6 wooden sticks

1 ½ cups granulated sugar

½ cup light corn syrup

½ cup water

15 Jolly Rancher hard candies (assorted colors)

½ teaspoon neon food coloring (green, blue, or pink)

½ teaspoon tonic water (for the glow effect)

Directions:

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and grease it lightly. Insert wooden sticks into the tops of the apples.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, corn syrup, and water. Stir until sugar dissolves.

Add crushed Jolly Ranchers and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches 300°F (hard-crack stage) on a candy thermometer.

Remove from heat and stir in neon food coloring and tonic water. Mix well.

Carefully dip each apple into the hot candy mixture, coating it evenly. Let excess drip off before placing it on the prepared baking sheet.

Let the apples cool and harden completely before serving.
