I added about a tsp of vanilla extract near the 250 degree mark to flavor, but may try a tablespoon of red hots next time (though they were great this way)! Things that worked: Must have a candy thermometer! It took me an hour to reach 300 degrees on high heat on my ceramic cooktop.
#CANDY APPLE KIT TRIAL#
I just did a trial run with this recipe, my first time making candy, much leess candied apples. but once you've found your magic stick with it! well good luck!!! This receipe is not your every day and is very tricky but well worth it! so go ahead and charge like the fairs. Recipe is a keeper once you've mastered it. To clean pan pour excess syrup in some old crisco can or something you will throw away.

To remove excess wax peper off apples use a clean new wet rag. after apple is dipped and dry use a cheap sandwich bag and tie off with red or green curling string. use popsicle sticks unstead of the pricy apple sticks. Oh must have apples layed out on wax paper. So don't do like myself and have a bunch of screaming kids at the table. I went into the hospital and had my baby that night with a burned scar on my hand. Also don't kid yourself candy making is dangerous I burned myself trying to save my expensive pan. this receipe can burn in a half of second after hard crack ball stage. Let the candy thermomorter read about 260 than turn heat down to cook rest of the way. Try using this recipe with red hots (a bag) to flavor and color unstead of red die. I made this recipe more than once! Candy making is not forgiving a candy thermomorter a must! if you under do it is sticky if you over do it is rock hard.
