Concord Foods Candy Apple Kit
What it is
This kit provides the essential components for creating classic candy apples at home. It includes a specially formulated candy coating mix designed to harden into a crisp, sweet shell around fresh fruit. The mix is pre-measured and ready to be prepared with simple additions, making the process straightforward for home cooks. It's a fun way to enjoy a traditional treat.

- Party favors
- After-school snacks
- Seasonal baking
To prepare the candy apples, you will typically heat the candy coating mix with water and corn syrup according to the package directions until it reaches the correct temperature. This creates a smooth, pourable syrup. Then, you dip washed and dried apples, which have been placed on sticks, into the hot candy mixture, ensuring they are fully coated. Allow the coated apples to cool and harden on parchment paper or a silicone mat. The result is a delightful sweet and crunchy candy shell.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike homemade candy from scratch, this kit simplifies the process by providing a pre-mixed base. The specific formulation aims for a consistent texture and flavor that is characteristic of traditional candy apples, reducing the guesswork involved in achieving the right consistency and sweetness.
Who it is for
This kit is ideal for families looking for a fun activity or anyone who enjoys making classic confections.
How to keep the rest
After preparing the candy apples, store any remaining unused candy coating mix in its original packaging in a cool, dry place. Ensure the package is sealed tightly to prevent moisture absorption. It can be kept for future use until the expiration date indicated on the packaging.
