This Halloween we have a trick for your candy apple treat…Use frosting to decorate them!
My 9-year-old son, Caleb, and I are HUGE fans of caramel apples, but when it comes to getting in the kitchen to create a Halloween treat, we found using caramel became a sticky mess.
As much as we love eating the caramel apples…we became less interested in the homemade caramel apples because caramel slipped off our apples and onto our fingers, in our hair, and all over our clothes. Yikes! I can only imagine the feeling with even younger kiddos. Caramel EVERYWHERE!
Never fear, we have created our very own Halloween apple decorating experience.
After all, Caleb just wants to be creative and decorate, so we came up with:
Frosted Candy Apple Halloween Characters
Aren’t these cute?! We created ghosts, ghouls, mummies, and Frankensteins!
Watch our How To Create Frosted Halloween Candy Apples Video from the trip to the grocery store all the way to the finished treats!
They taste best if you chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to an hour, cold enough to make the frosting chill to the apple. Any longer than that will make the frosting crack!
The extra apples we decorated made such a fun little centerpiece in the kitchen all week. SO CUTE! We received so many compliments from neighbors and friends visiting that it’s inspired us to host a candy-apple-decorating party for an upcoming party.
