😂😂😂😂

What does it look like?

Ok. I like the metallic too. I like luster dust as well if I’m going for a certain look.

😂😂😂Don’t go no higher than 5 or it’s going to burn. Make sure you have a candy thermometer and not one for meat. If you let your candy apple mixture reach 300 degrees using a candy thermometer it should never come out like that. Or maybe perhaps you used too much gel food coloring. Don’t use no more than a teaspoon as a beginner with an actual teaspoon. It’s one or the other. Rinse that candy off with hot water under your kitchen faucet and try it again with what I just told you above. If you don’t have a candy thermometer you’ll fail before you start. I hope this helps.💕

You’re so welcome. They are so delicious and perfect.💕

Wait did you just say you like them chewy because in one sentence you said you don’t and another sentence you said you do…lol. I like mine perfect with a crispy crunch. I don’t like mine thick but only with a crispy crunch. You’re not worried with the hard candy being chewy?….lol. Girl well if you want them like that look on your candy thermometer and you should see taffy. Cook it to that degree on your candy thermometer. Look in between 250 and 270 and it should be marked on your candy thermometer. I don’t suggest this, so if your teeth gets pulled out from that taffy like texture, at least I have it here in writing that I warned you.😂 To be honest, no you’re not weird because there’s a few people who like them like that…lol. Now if you want them with a perfect crunch follow my recipe and use a teaspoon or less gel food coloring and let your candy cook to 300 degrees. I hope this helps you.💕

Hi! My caramel recipe is different from the candy apple recipe because it’s caramel. It takes a lot of caramel to cover one apple. You will get about 8-10 apples. Now if you want more just double the recipe. I hope this helps. They are deliciously the devil because I eat 3-4 back to back.😂😂😂

You're so welcome.💕

Yes, indeed. I couldn’t even go to the store and buy some regular sugar. Thank you so much.💕

Thank you so much.💕

Hi. Treat makers price their plain candy apples anywhere from $5-8 and $9 and up for decorative candy apples. What kind of candy apples are you making? I hope this helps you.💕

@@DIYQUEENDIVA I have my first order for 12 apples they requested six black and six orange for Halloween

Yayyyyyy! Are you excited?💕

This is normal…😂😂😂 It took me 3 to 4 times as a beginner before I got it right. This is why I’m showing you my way so you don’t make the same mistakes and get it right on the first time…lol. When you are cleaning your apples it’s important to not let your apples sit in the boiling apple method no longer than 6 seconds. I guarantee your apples will be crisp and not cooked soft. Do each apple one at a time. Let me know if you’re having problems with anything else. I’m here to support you each step of the way. Here’s my apple cleaning method:💕kzbin.info/aero/PLSve20__OpxHn2jrfGgn4H_zj7MSckuWR&si=MOwM-3C7z1xk5TGw

@@DIYQUEENDIVA I found you after my first try. I am finishing up some homemade boudin right now, but plan to try your method tomorrow!!! Thank you for responding!

That's how it usually goes. You find the help after the fact.😂😂😂 Yes, you should be fine. Make sure you come back and let me know how everything went for you. You got this! 💕

@@DIYQUEENDIVA my caramel apple pie came out delicious though! Check it out if you want to!. Oh! I do have a question! I’m going to prep my apples today, obviously I’m not going to be wiping them down for 24 hours straight lol. Do I dry well and place in the refrigerator and periodically continue to wipe them? And coat them tomorrow?

I went over there to look to see what you did wrong with your caramel apples. First of all, I'm glad you found my channel and now you should have no problem once you use my caramel apple recipe here: kzbin.info/aero/PLSve20__OpxEc4mtF5T3_EK_DZxFdilkg&si=vefkV73-AQn7KD7p I noticed you're using red apples. As a beginner use Granny Smith apples. Red apples are sweeter and harder to clean. With wax still being on the apples the caramel will be hard to stick and slide off. After you get the hang of it, then you can do red apples if that's your preference. When you are doing the candy apple cleaning method do not refrigerate at all, leave them on your kitchen counter. Wipe your apples down every 3 to 4 hours about four to five times after the cleaning method with lemon juice, water, salt, and baking soda like here: kzbin.info/aero/PLSve20__OpxHn2jrfGgn4H_zj7MSckuWR&si=5m12qZTVNEeIR-ej Another thing I noticed was your packaging. Do not use bags, cellophane, or plastic wrap because the caramel will stick to plastic. Use only candy apple boxes that you can find in my Amazon bakeshop here: www.amazon.com/shop/diyqueendiva You are not giving up, and this is why you will eventually be successful. I hope this helps you. Let me know if you have any other questions. By the way your caramel apple pie didn't look too bad...lol.💕

Yes, we are okay.💕

Yes, I’m okay. Thanks for checking💕

I hope you and family enjoyed them.💕

Yes to both.💕

You can make whatever flavor you so desire because they are yours. I’ve never tried it, but again they are yours and it’s up to you and your preference.💕

Someone else asked this question. My only suggestion is to try it in a sample cake first, and don’t make the caramel as thick like we do for our caramel apples. So don’t cook as long.💕

Oh, you fancy!😂😂😂💕

Noooo! 6 cups sugar, 4 cups water, 1 cup corn syrup, and flavoring.

Hi! Some people reheat it by adding water and letting it reach back to 300 degrees. You can certainly add it to another batch. In my experience I don’t do reheating because the second time around it has a slightly burnt taste. I’m assuming because it’s been cooked to 300 degrees twice. I hope this helps you.💕

I wouldn’t because the candy will taste burnt. If you’re using 6-4-1 you should have plenty of time to dip your apples before hardening.💕

Hello. Bag them as soon as you get finished dipping your last candy apple starting with the first apple you dipped. I do only recommend Granny Smith apples because it’s harder to clean the red apples because they are sweeter therefore release more sugar or sap to clean off the apples. However if you want to use other apples it’s your choice and they are your candy apples.💕

It’s so good. Here’s my tv series on the best caramel apples you’ll ever make.💕 kzbin.info/aero/PLSve20__OpxEc4mtF5T3_EK_DZxFdilkg&si=saqO6JOS_JMn1JV6. Here’s my most recent video here with homemade caramel apples: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIjcqKiqpcmHqrssi=XZhIX2u2K4wfJm88

De nada muñeca.😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂 Thank you so much. Tell him I don’t like going down there because I always get pulled over for speeding over the limit like 4 miles.😂😂😂

Thank you so much.💕

Yes, I sure can. Have you tried looking on Amazon for a purple metallic food coloring? I’ll come back later on tonight and post one under this post.💕

@@DIYQUEENDIVA yes I didn’t see any I’m going to look again

They have it on Amazon in a different brand. Do you want metallic airbrush or metallic gel? Let me know so I can pin it under your post. I can pin both if you'd like.

Thank you so much. I'm always trying something daring...lol.💕

@@DIYQUEENDIVA glad you are ok. Praise God

Yes, and thank you so much. God is good!

Thank you so much, and you’re so welcome. I had to find a happy place with everything that was going on.💕

Thank you so much.💕

Right! Thank God the power is back on. Our Governor got things pushing through so fast under these circumstances. Everyone should have power unless they are on the tip top of the mountain or in a difficult area.💕

Don’t worry it’s an easy fix. You just didn’t wipe your apples down good enough. If you want to fix those candy apples with bubbles just run hot water over them until the candy dissolves and wipe them down and start over. You didn’t clean the wax off hard enough. Some apples got more wax on them. So when you’re cleaning your apples make sure you’re pretty rough wiping them down after the apple cleaning process.💕

@@DIYQUEENDIVA Thank you so much.

@@chandaowens4748 you're so welcome. Are you okay down in Florida with this next hurricane coming in?

@@DIYQUEENDIVA Not sure Diva. I had to go to Tampa to get my son from the USF campus yesterday. Our God is a good God. HE will never fail us. Amen!

He's good all the time. Stay safe.💕

Thank you so much.💕

No. You got this.💕

It will take an hour to an hour and 15 minutes depending on your stove.💕

Yes, you must do the candy apple cleaning method here in order for the candy to stick on your apples: kzbin.info/aero/PLSve20__OpxHn2jrfGgn4H_zj7MSckuWR&si=eEYmm4GjJoHOGn4- The sticks are in my Amazon bake shop as well here: www.amazon.com/shop/diyqueendiva
