I have made these many times and they always work out GREAT! Make sure you have a good thermometer and don't go far when it is bubbly! Thanks for a great recipe the kids LOVE it!

    I followed the recipe exactly, and it turned out great. Very simple and easy to follow. I will add a little extra coloring next time, since with 6 drops candy comes out somewhat pale. I also sprinkled sugar on the cookie sheet as advised. Great trick!

    My mom always makes candy apples at Halloween. She pours the remainder of candy onto a white sugar dusted cookie sheet..then you can break the candy and eat it too. Then you use super hot water in the pot so the candy doesnt harden to the sides.

    My nieces spent last weekend with us and we made these. We had so much fun. They turned out just like the ones we get at the fair. Hard and crunchy bright red coating. Thanks for a fun and delicious family cooking experience.
