But tastes change and now I’m not quite as much of a cinnamon guy as I used to be back then.
Since I loved the candies that inspired this type of apple I feel a bit robbed that I never had the chance to try one. Give me a box of Red Hots and I was in heaven! After these, the more gummy variety called Hot Tamales were also a favorite. Though I didn’t have this type of apple, its origin comes from red cinnamon candy which I did have back in the day. As an adult, I kind of want to try these again, but don’t want to risk the now irreversible tooth loss.

Hospitals offered free x-rays of apples for anyone who felt they needed the piece of mind, but not one claim was ever substantiated, making it simply a piece of popular lore. Also, when I was a kid, there was an urban myth that circulated around Halloween that children were receiving candy apples with razor blades in them. Ready to place under your pillow to get a little extra change from the tooth fairy that night. Out your tooth would come in an instant, hopefully not bringing other teeth with it. I only remember that when I was little and about to lose a tooth, I could bite into a caramel apple to speed up the process. Note: If you are able to have a local grocery store donate apples & caramels – this booth can be almost pure profit!

(Call the school to find out.) Nut allergies can be severe, so just choose the colorful sprinkles as a candy apple topping option. See Pinterest for some ideas here!

Adults will enjoy this carnival treat almost as much as the kids!Ĭhocolate Covered Apples are one of the latest goodies that are sure to be a treat at your carnival or fall festival! We recommend small - medium sized apples, as the large apples can be too filling for a child to eat.įor Halloween, Black Candy Apples can be a hit with kids! We found, generally, these are made with black food coloring added to melted candy before dipping, but we also found some using dark purple candies melted to get almost the same effect! It is not hard to do, but will go smoother if you have practiced before you have a line of children at a carnival. Please practice this booth at home first.
