Step 1

Bring 3 quarts of water to a boil. Carefully lower an apple in the boiling water, count 3 seconds and remove to a towel to allow to dry. Repeat for remaining apples.

Step 2

Use another towel to thorough dry the apples. Water and wax cause the candy coating to bubble so make sure the apples are both clean and dry.

Step 3

Push a skewer into the top of each apple.

Step 4

Preheat oven to 350˚F/177˚C.

Step 5

Sort the candies into the different colors and remove the wrappers. 50 candies coat ~3 small/medium apples. If you don't have enough of each color, you can combine pink and red, and green and blue.

Step 6

Place ~50 unwrapped candies into a deep pan or a saucepan that has an oven-proof handle. Place into the oven for 10-12 minutes or until the candies are completely melted.

Step 7

Use an oven mitt and place the melted candy on a heat-proof surface.

Step 8

Add the glitter and stir to combine. Return the pan to the oven to re-melt the candy.

Step 9

Use an oven mitt and place the melted candy on a heat-proof surface.

Step 10

Tilt the pan so that the candy pools at the bottom. Hold the apple by the skewer and dip it into the melted candy. Slowly twirl the stick to coat the apple. Lift the apple straight up to allow the excess candy to drip off.

Step 11

Place the apple on a silicone baking sheet or a parchment lined baking pan.

Step 12

The candy will cook in a few minutes and are best served soon after making.
