I'm selling candy/caramel apples this year when fall comes. I have been watching all your beginner friendly videos to make sure I do everything correctly. . im nervous & excited. Tonite I'll be prepping my apples with your apple wash method. Thank you so much for the clear instructions in your videos. I will most def tell u how they turned out.
Congratulations on starting! It’s perfectly normal to be nervous but you will overcome that fear. Your apples are going to turn out perfect and your customers are going to love them. Definitely come back and let me know how everything went. You got this!💕
I literally just made this caramel for 6 apples that I cleaned before work this morning. This caramel is delicious. I burnt my tongue trying to taste it before it cooled😆😆😂. I made my chocolate yellow, and put multi colored little pearls on them. ❤️❤️❤️ Thanks for sharing
Hi, let it cool down until you can't fell any warmth to the apples. Or you can wait a good 45 minutes. 1-2 hours is even better. This way you know they are cooled down. I hope this helps.💕
Hi! Thank you so much. I've never used glucose syrup before so I couldn't give advice on that. If you have substituted glucose for corn syrup in your other recipes and it worked for you, then you should try it. Please come back and let me know how it worked out for you if you try it, because this is not the first time I've been asked that.💕
Hi, I see in your ingredients for the different batches that the corn syrup amount stays the same. Is there a specific reason to not double it? What would happen if you doubled the corn syrup when you doubled everything else ?
Great question. You can double the caramel recipe if you have a double batch. It's just when it comes down to candy apples I'm kind of picky about that...lol. I don't want my candy apples to be sticky or gooey from too much corn syrup. Plus it's easy to remember....lol.
What type of paper are you using to sit the candy apples on after dipping them in the caramel? I used the caramel bits melted and dipped and sat them on the silicone mat and the apples got stuck. What should I be using? Thanks for your response in advance.
I stopped using those caramel bits, I'd rather make homemade caramel with this southern caramel recipe because my caramel will stick every single time to the apples without bubbles and sliding off. I just use parchment paper. You can use parchment paper and if you want to be extra careful with your caramel you can get a cold stick of butter and rub a think layer of butter over the parchment paper to make sure the caramel doesn't stick. I hope this helps you.
You have it mistakenly wrong. I use gel food coloring 100% for ONLY candy apples and for chocolate you DO NOT use gel food coloring or your chocolate will seize up. For chocolate ONLY use oil-based colors like Colour Mill. I hope this helps you.💕
Hi I have two questions can the caramel be reused like if your going to make two batches can you pour the rest in the new batch or would it be better to just double the recipe and when you clean your apples can you caramel the apples the same day? Thank you
Honey chile, yes this can be reused. I'm using what's left over today to fix me some turtle clusters tomorrow. I will have to try same day soon. This will give me an excuse to do these good caramel apples again. I think I've done it before but can't remember what happened because I'm greedy. So let me do it first before I give you a definite answer.💕
Hi there! I am having difficulties working with fondant can you please help me. How can I store the caramel apples with fondant if they're being done a day prior?
Store them in the refrigerator and when you’re ready to eat or deliver let them sit on your kitchen counter 15 minutes prior to bring them back to room temperature. What is your issue with fondant?
Any fondant stabilizer, tylose powder or gum-tex will make your fondant hard and sometimes tough to work with. If you let those pieces sit overnight they are usually hard as a brick...lol. Just use a tiny amount so you can work with it or just apply cmc on the silicone mold and see if that helps you. Fondant takes a lot of practice this is why most don't want to use it....lol. Either too sticky or too hard...lol. But eventually if you continue to practice with it, you'll get it just right to work with. I hope this little info. helps you. Oh, I almost forgot. Make sure your hands are dry or use plastic gloves.
I just clean them like candy apples because they be putting too much wax on these apples nowadays. I'd rather be safe than sorry because I know I don't want to re-do no apples...lol. This will give me an excuse to do these good caramel apples again. I will have to try same day soon. I think I've done it before but can't remember what happened, because I'm greedy like that...lol. So let me do them first and then give you a definite answer.💕
Do the candy apple boxes so they don’t mess up. Yes you can store these in the refrigerator. Just when you’re ready to eat them let your apples sit out on the kitchen counter until they reach back to room temperature so they can be good and soft again. They last a long time, but I don’t eat mine after a week or two. I hope this helps you.💕
It'll be okay this time but don't tie them up tight. Next time just make sure to get candy apple boxes. You can store them in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks.💕
The ingredients are in the description box here in the caramel apple tutorial- czcams.com/video/Os6RC4orD0I/video.htmlsi=1x3b6POuUL4IxYFs Just melt your butter first, take off the stove and all of the other ingredients. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated. Put back on the stove and continue to stir without stopping to prevent your caramel from burning. Let this cook until your caramel reaches in between 232-235. This takes about 20 minutes but still have a candy thermometer. Let it cool for 3 minutes. Or you can test an apple to see if it's ready to be dipped. I hope this helps but one day I'll be able to hire an assistant to add the recipes.💕
Hey! The majority of the time I use this 2.5 QT pot you're talking about here in this video. You can find the 2 pots that I use all the time here by scrolling down to candy apple pots - ❤ Visit my AMAZON BAKE SHOP for all of your candy apple needs.❤ SAME DAY SHIPPING - amazon.com/shop/diyqueendiva
You must let it chill or your chocolate will mess up, but if you feel like it’s going to be too cold the best thing you can do is go on your own judgement and see what works best for you. Good luck with making your chocolate caramel apples…lol.💕

Absolutely awesome

Can you do a video on pricing and starting a business selling candy apples? Thank you! Happy New Year! God bless! 🥳🎊🎉✝️🙏🏼
Happy New Years! I will put this on my things to do list.
This is so beautiful!! I was wondering, can you substitute coconut oil for the vegetable oil when you melt the chocolate?
Sure just make sure there are no coconut allergies with your customers. Thank you so much!
Thank you🥰
You’re so welcome.💕
Hi there! Great recipe! Can I use Glucose syrup instead os corn syrup? Thank you!

Can you add red food coloring to your caramel
I’ve never add coloring to my caramel. You have to experiment in order to see if it works.💕

How long do they last? Can you put them in the fridge in bags?

It'll be okay this time but don't tie them up tight. Next time just make sure to get candy apple boxes. You can store them in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks.💕
Can you write out the carmel recipe
Now you’re asking for too much work to do…lol. I’ll put in in the description box later on tonight. I’ll let you know once I put it there.💕

Hi there! How long do I let the caramel cool before dipping?
After 30 minutes you’re good to go. This caramel firms up pretty good and maintains soft and chewy.
He said, let your chocolate cool down for 25 minutes? It would need to warm correct? It seems as though after 25 minutes it would be cold.🤷♀️
You must let it chill or your chocolate will mess up, but if you feel like it’s going to be too cold the best thing you can do is go on your own judgement and see what works best for you. Good luck with making your chocolate caramel apples…lol.💕
why do you add vegetable oil in the chocolate before putting it in the microwave?
This is the way I do mine. This assures me that my chocolate won’t seize. This helps the chocolate to become smooth and flow good.💕
@Candy Apple TV thank you
You’re so welcome.💕
What temperature should the caramel be?
I take mine off the stove between 230-235 because it’s still cooking after I take it off the stove.💕
Thank you so much
You’re so welcome.💕
