Ingredients for Disneyland Candy Apples
Kids love these candy apples and love to help making them! But, with ingredients as easy as this, you can also add in your creative side. When you get done making these, you will want to show them off and put them in a display case!
Apples – I used green Granny Smith apples. These add that sweet and tart flavor that blend well with caramel and chocolate. Apple sticks – This will be stuck in the top of the apple. Caramels – Melt your caramels in the microwave or stovetop. Wax paper – Lay this flat on a baking sheet for the apples to dry on. Marshmallows – Regular size or jumbo marshmallows work well and give the “ears” a great shape. Milk chocolate chips- Melt chocolate chips in a bowl in the microwave. Stir in-between 30 second intervals. This will have a smooth and creamy consistency. White chocolate chips – These will be divided and used for the buttons on Minnie as well as dipping the apple in. Jelly beans – Pick out yellow jelly beans or white colored jelly beans for the buttons on Mickey’s apples. Red sanding sugar – Find these near the cakes and bakery isle of your local food stores.Red ribbon – Sparkles, sprinkles, or red and white polka dots are fun to make Minnie’s bow out of.
Tips for Making the Best Apples with Caramel
Make the best caramel apples with these simple tips. So, grab a bowl and add your favorite candy-coated chocolate to start melting. Have a fun time making these Minnie and Mickey caramel apples.
Wash the apples and dry them thoroughly with a towel. Twist the apple stem off as close to the base as possible. It is best not to use cooking spray on the parchment paper. This will leave an oily finish on the bottom of the apple.Use a butter knife to cut the marshmallows for the Minnie mouse marshmallow ears.
Substitutions and/or Add-Ins Mickey Candy Apples
I give you full permission to make your Minnie and Mickey apples just the way you see them! Be creative and add in all the pink ribbon, red melting chocolate, and shiny coating. Create the best Disney apples!
Instead of red sugar crystals, use pink chocolate with pink melting chocolate for Minnie’s dress. Melt your chocolate in a double boiler or saucepan on medium-low heat on the stove instead of in the microwave. Place apple on wax paper in-between caramel covering the chocolate.

How to Store Candy Apples with Chocolate
Place your apple in the refrigerator for three days. Then, wrap each apple in cellophane bag or an air tight container. Because the layers of chocolate and caramel stick to the apples, they will stay together while in the refrigerator, but the apple itself will become brown and gets old.
