Description

These glowing Jolly Rancher apples combine the nostalgia of candy apples with a fun blacklight twist, making them the perfect edible Halloween centerpiece. Easy to make with simple ingredients and an optional glow element, they’re sure to wow kids and guests at any fall gathering.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium apples (Granny Smith or Gala)
  • 1 bag assorted Jolly Ranchers
  • 1/2 cup corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup water
  • food-safe glow powder or quinine water (optional)

  • Instructions

    1. Wash apples thoroughly and dry completely, then insert wooden sticks into the core of each apple.

    2. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan combine unwrapped Jolly Ranchers, corn syrup, and water; heat on medium, stirring until candy melts and reaches 300°F.

    3. Remove from heat and stir in glow powder or a small amount of quinine water if using.

    4. Quickly dip each apple into the hot candy mixture, rotating to coat evenly and letting excess drip off.

    5. Place coated apples on a silicone mat or parchment paper and allow to cool and harden for 15–20 minutes at room temperature.

    6. Display apples under a blacklight or UV light to activate the glow before serving.
