Steps:
- Insert a lollipop stick into the stem end of each apple.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.
- Add the sugar, water, and corn syrup to a medium saucepan fitted with a candy thermometer. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then cook until the temperature reaches 300°F (150°C), about 5 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the red food coloring.
- Dip the apples in the syrup to coat entirely, then set on the prepared baking sheet. Let cool until the candy hardens, about 5 minutes.
- Add the green candy melts to a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on low power in 20-second intervals, stirring between, until melted. Stir in the canola oil until smooth. Let cool slightly, then transfer to a squeeze bottle. Let cool for 5 minutes more, or until the candy sets quickly when squeezed out of the bottle.
- Use the melted candy to draw eyes and a mouth on each apple, then outline the rest of the apple above the very bottom and fill in the space outside the eyes and mouth.
- Let set for 10-15 minutes, until completely hardened.
- Enjoy!
POISON APPLES
Everyone knows witches are not to be trusted with apples. Assure your guests that the coating of caramel, pistachios, and chocolate on these twig-skewered fruits is safe to eat (then cackle mysteriously).

Steps:
- Poke a hole into stem end of each apple, and insert a clean 5-inch twig, small dowel, or skewer into each hole. Set pistachios on a plate. Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Place sugar and corn syrup in a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until mixture is dark gold, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat, and slowly drizzle in heavy cream, stirring vigorously. Let stand for 5 minutes.
- Dip 1 apple into caramel to coat bottom third, and remove immediately, allowing excess to drip off bottom. Dip caramel-coated apple into pistachios, using your fingers to help nuts stick to caramel. Transfer coated apple to oiled baking sheet, nut side down. Repeat with remaining apples, caramel, and pistachios. Let apples stand until set, about 30 minutes.
- Place melted chocolate in a resealable plastic bag. Snip off the tip of one bottom corner to form a very small hole. Holding 1 apple by the twig, drizzle lines of chocolate onto apple, and let stand until chocolate is set, 5 to 10 minutes. Repeat with remaining apples and chocolate.
Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Granny Smith apples are the best choice for poison apples because they are tart and hold their shape well when cooked.
- Peel and core the apples: This will help to remove any pesticides or waxes from the apples and make them easier to eat.
- Cook the apples until they are soft: This will help to release their natural sweetness and make them more palatable.
- Add sugar or honey to taste: If the apples are too tart, you can add a little sugar or honey to sweeten them.
- Serve the apples with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream: This will help to offset the tartness of the apples and make them more enjoyable to eat.
Conclusion:
Poison apples are a fun and festive treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for Halloween parties or other special occasions. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make your own poison apples at home. Just be sure to follow the tips above to ensure that your apples are safe to eat.
