One of my favorite fall treats has to be a candy apple. I love the endless possibilities and the chance to adapt them to every season.
Caramel apple? Yep!
Candy Apple? absolutely!
These Halloween candy apples are a must-make this season.
Creating these spooky monster candy apples was a great way to spook up one of my favorite fall treats. Add a pair of googly eyes and these scary treats are easier to make than you’d think!
My easy monster dipped apples are as simple as
1. Dip
2. Decorate
3. Serve!

Once your monsters are nice and frozen, they are ready to be enjoyed. My guests loved that these apples were fully edible.
Have fun decorating these. My favorite part of the monster design is the ability to get creative with the eyes and webbing. No two monsters are the same, and they are delicious!
