Jolly Rancher & Cotton Candy Glass Apples

Coat the Apples

1. Tilt the pan slightly.
2. Dip each chilled apple slowly into the syrup.
3. Rotate to coat evenly.
4. Let excess drip off.

For dramatic “glass shards,” allow some candy to drip and harden unevenly.

Place apples on parchment paper.

Add the Cotton Candy

Wait until the shell is mostly set but still slightly tacky:

• Wrap wisps of cotton candy around the base or top.
• Add edible glitter if desired.

 Cotton candy melts fast from humidity, so add it right before serving.

Neon Illusion Tips

• Use blacklight-reactive food coloring for a glowing effect.
• Mix blue + purple + pink for “galaxy glass.”
• Chill apples before dipping for thicker crackly shells.
• Spin extra sugar strands around the apples for a blown-glass look.

Storage

• Best eaten within 24 hours.
• Store uncovered at cool room temperature.
• Avoid refrigeration after coating — condensation can melt the shell.

The final effect looks like translucent stained glass wrapped around a candy apple with a cloud of cotton candy floating around it
