    Can you use the cinnamon candies that you put on christmas cookies? the ones that look like little red balls? or does it have to be this kind? Also, are they spicy?

    Hi! Thank you so much for your videos. Especially this one. I’ve tried many candy apple recipes and this one is the best I’ve found. My apples didn’t end up with bubbles and it didn’t harden too fast like other recipes. I was able to fill some candy molds and dip some extra fruits. I do have a question. Is there a more natural way of making the candy apples? I’m saying, without corn syrup, or dyes. And if so how long do they last? Is there a video on it?

    What are the ingredient proportions? I would like to know how to make them. Every time I try a recipe it fails

    I used to love candy apples when I was a kid, but with crowns, fillings and bridges, those days are sadly long gone! They look beautiful though! Such a vibrant red and I love cinnamon!
