Sounds complicated! Is it really worth the effort for just candy apples? I usually just buy them.

Wow, this recipe sounds really fun! Can’t wait to try making these with my kids.
Sounds good, but isn’t 300°F too hot? I thought sugar burned at high temps. 🤔
I was skeptical because I’ve tried making candy apples before and they never turned out. But this recipe worked for me! Just make sure to watch the thermometer closely.
Never made candy apples before but this recipe was easy to follow. A bit sticky tho, be careful! Maybe next time less syrup?
Honestly, this is way too much sugar for just apples. Can’t we just eat the apples? 😂
Cool recipe! I didn’t have any candy thermometer tho, just winged it. Apples taste fine!
But how do you know it was cooked right without a thermometer? Isn’t that risky? You could burn yourself!
That’s awesome! Sometimes you just gotta trust your instincts! Glad the apples turned out well!
Super delicious! I added some sprinkles on top after the candy cools. So festive!
That sounds amazing! I bet the sprinkles made them look even prettier. Can’t wait to try this recipe!
Sprinkles? I dunno, might be too much for candy apples. Just seems wrong to me.
Ugh, my candy mixture never hardened! What did I do wrong?? 😭
These turned out amazing! My kids loved them, thank you!
