A Superb Halloween Sweetened Receipt for Kids Candy always makes a welcome gift !
 Ingredients:
- 12 medium apples
- 12 long, wooden sticks or chopsticks
- 3 cups sugar
- 1 1/2 cups light corn syrup
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup cinnamon red hots (optional)
- 15 drops red natural food coloring
Preparation: - Butter a cookie sheet and line it with parchment paper. Butter the paper and set the sheet aside.
- Wash and thoroughly dry the apples. Remove the stems and turn the apples upside down. Since the tops are usually larger and flatter, the apples should stay upright. Insert a wooden stick into each apple, pushing about two thirds of the way through. Set the prepared apples aside.
- Combine the sugar, corn syrup, water, and red hots in a heavy medium saucepan. Stir over low heat until the sugar and red hots are completely dissolved and the syrup comes to a boil.
- Clip a candy thermometer to the inside of the pan and cook the syrup, without stirring, until it reaches 310°F .
- Remove the pan from the hear and stir in the food coloring.
- Tilt the pan to create a deeper pool of sugar syrup. Dip one apple into the syrup, turning it as necessary to cover it completely. Allow any excess syrup to drip back into the pan, then place the apple on the prepared cookie sheet. Repeat with the remaining apples. Allow the candy coating to cool and set before serving, about 1 hour. Peel the apples off the parchment and serve as soon as possible.
