Black Poison Swirl Candy is a spooky, visually striking treat perfect for Halloween or any spooky occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium-sized apples (Granny Smith or your choice)
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup corn syrup
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon black food coloring
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • Wooden sticks or skewers
  • Parchment paper for cooling

Instructions

  1. Wash the apples thoroughly and dry them completely. Insert wooden sticks into the tops of each apple, ensuring they are secured.
  2. Place parchment paper on a baking sheet to catch any drips during the cooling process.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, and water. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.
  4. Once the sugar mixture reaches a boil, add in the black food coloring and vanilla extract. Allow it to reach the hard crack stage (approximately 300°F or 149°C), which takes about 10–15 minutes without stirring.
  5. Remove the saucepan from heat, then quickly stir in the baking soda. This will cause the mixture to bubble.
  6. While it’s still warm and runny, dip the apples into the candy coating, ensuring they’re evenly covered, and then swirl them to create a marbled effect.
  7. Carefully place the dipped apples on the prepared parchment paper to cool. Make sure they are not touching each other to prevent sticking.
  8. Let the candy coating harden for at least 30 minutes before serving or packaging.

Notes

  • Ensure apples are completely dry for the candy coating to stick properly.
  • Be cautious when working with hot sugar syrup.
  • Experiment with different food colorings for varied effects.
