Apples
CANDY APPLES differ from CARAMEL APPLES because the candy mixture needs to be cooked to the hard crack stage (290-300º F). Cherry Red candy apples ( Reddy Apple Mix 4146, Apple Ez 4144, or Apple Magic VI4156) are the favorite. For other colored flavors of candy apples, try #VI4159 Grape Apple Magic, #VI4158 Blue Apple Magic, #VI4157 Lime Apple Magic, or #VI4160 Caramel Apple Magic. Yes, they taste just like they look!
