Hey guys, it’s Ro! And welcome to another Nerdy Nummies!
And, happy Halloween!
Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, so I decided to do something
very special, we are gonna be making candy apples, because it’s perfect
for October, and the fall, and we are gonna make them look like Spiderman!
Because that’s kinda creepy spiders for Halloween!
So let’s get started!
The things you will need, will be: 2 cups of regular white sugar, 1/2 a cup
of oop! Got some sugar on my finger! 1/2 a cup of light corn syrup,
3/4 cup of water, 3 apples, I’m using Granny Smith. 1 teaspoon of red food
coloring dye, a bunch of these wood skewers, but they kind of look like wooden
stakes that you’d stake a vampire with! That’s OK!
You’ll also need a piece of wax paper to go over your cookie sheet, and,
a wooden spoon, a spatula, a medium sized saucepan, and a candy thermometer!
Let’s get started!
Now you’re gonna take your little wooden skewers, put them right in the middle and
push them in there. These are a little bit easier than lollipop sticks, you can
also use lollipop sticks, but because they have a pointed edge, they go in a little
bit easier. I don’t have the most upper body strength, so I’m gonna be using
a hammer.
You want to put them in about 1/2 way… Nice!
Once you got your apples assembled, you’re just gonna stick them off to the side,
da-dew, da-dew. da-dew!
And we’re gonna put together our candy apple mixture.
In your medium sized pot you’re gonna add all of your ingredients and then stir them
up before we head over to the stove.
So first you’re going to take your 2 cups of regular sugar, yeah, yeah, pour him in!
And your 3/4 cup of water. 1/2 a cup of light corn syrup, ooooh!
It’s really goopy, it’s really sticky, so this is where you’re gonna use your
mustach-u-ler! To scoop out all the extra on the inside. Because otherwise
it won’t be 1/2 a cup.
Now you’re just gonna take a teaspoon of red food coloring dye.
Now you’re gonna take your wooden sch-poon, and mix it all together until
everything is consistent.
I feel like this is a witches brew! Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee!
Boil-babble-boil-boil and trouble!
I just put the pot on the stove, you’re gonna turn your burner onto a medium
heat, I like to put it on a 5, and then you’re gonna stir your candy syrup
until it starts boiling. Once it start boiling, leave it alone, don’t touch
it, just let it boil, and you’re gonna watch your candy thermometer until the
heat rises to 310 degrees. Once it reaches 310 degrees, remove it from the
heat. Now you’re gonna wait until all the bubbles stop popping, and then you’re gonna
take your apple, dip it into the syrup candy, and slowly spin it around.
Then you’re gonna pick it up, wait for the excess candy to drip off,
and put it onto your tray.
Now that we've got our apples dipped, we are going to decorate.
I’m going to be using big marshmallows, you can also use regular marshmallows,
these are just the ones I had handy, they were in my kitchen.
So what you’re gonna do is take baking scissors, a little bit of Pam spray,
we’re gonna spray our scissors before we cut our marhsmallows.
Helps them not stick.
Ready? OK, there we go!
Take your big marshmallow, or your medium one, and we’re just gonna cut off the
end to look like a slice. And we’re gonna be using these marshmallows for Spiderman’s
eyes! And then what I like to do is cut it in half,
Then you’re gonna take half of it and cut kind of the shape of his eye, it’s like
a diamond or a tear shape. Pew!
Now you’re just gonna take your 2 marshmallow eyeballs and stick ‘em on the
front of your apple!
Da-nuh-na-nuh-nuh, da-nuh-na-na-na.
Now that you’ve got all the little marshmallow eyeballs on our little
Spiderman Candy Apples, you’re gonna take black icing, and I’ve got a number 3 tip,
here at the top, and we’re just gonna draw the design of the web of the Spiderman
mask. And then I’m gonna take a number 5 tip later on, to outline his eyes!
Ta-da!
Here are our Spiderman Candy Apples! They turned out so cute!
Thanks for suggesting something Spiderman! And, Halloween is in a few days, so have a happy
Halloween! And don’t, try not to get bit by any radioactive spiders!
Or any spiders of any kind… Yeah, OK!
