The first step is to prep the apples. Push the candy stick into the core from the top down. If it is too tough we suggest making a hole with a chopstick, skewer, or something similar.

Next, prepare to melt the Red Wilton Candy Melts. For small batches and working with children, we suggest using the Wilton Candy Melts Pot. It provides even low heat and the outside is not hot to the touch. Follow the manufacturer's safety guidelines.

For larger batches and a pouring consistency, we suggest the microwave and/or double boiler. We suggest 10-15 seconds in the microwave and finish off on the double boiler till you get the consistency you want. Stir continuously to smooth and prevent burning

You can scoop and pour the mixture over the apple, allowing the candy coating to drip down with an even coating. If need be, use a silicone or icing spatula to spread an even coating and fill in thin spots. Rest the coated apple on parchment to allow the candy melt coating to cool and harden.

Note: Wilton disposable piping bags are microwavable. Candy melts can be placed directly inside the disposable piping bag. Microwave 10-15 seconds at a time, massaging the bag between heating. This technique also works when using the piping bag over a period of time in which the contents may harden.

Cut the smallest tip possible on your piping bag. Test the size first before cutting a larger opening. We also suggest practicing the face on a piece of parchment before application to the candied apple.

Reheat the piping bag, following previous instructions. Take care coloring in the area around the nose, eyes, and 'mouth'. When filled in, cut the tip of the piping bag larger and color in the remainder of the apple. The hardened outline acts like a barrier that prevents the green from dripping.

Allow the green candy melt piping to harden before handling the apple.

Once solidified, the apple is ready to display proudly as a lovely addition to your Disney Halloween decor or table. And when you are done showcasing your creation don't forget to enjoy your tasty treat - but don't wait too long to take that bite of the Evil Queen's most special apple.
