    Tips & Tricks for Making Black Candy Apples<\/h2>\n
      \n
    • Watch the temperature. Pull the candy off the heat at 300 degrees. DO NOT let it go over 310\u00baF or you risk burning the candy.<\/li>\n
    • Don’t whisk the candy mixture. The sugar already ends up with a lot of air bubbles from the boiling, but you don’t want to add any more by using a whisk. Once you remove it from the heat, use a wooden spoon to stir slowly until the bubbles disappear. I also gently tapped the pot on a pad to pop some of the air bubbles as well. You can still see some on the apples, but I think it’s a fun effect– like a bubbling witches brew! ????<\/li>\n
    • You can use red instead of black. It looks great on green apples!<\/li>\n
    • I used these Wilton Candy Apple Sticks, and they are awesome!!!! But I’ve also used real branches in the past, and they are super beautiful and artistic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
