Creating these Glow in the Dark Jolly Rancher Candy Apples can be straightforward by following these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Apples: Wash the apples thoroughly to remove any wax. Pat them dry and remove the stems.
2. Insert Sticks: Gently insert a wooden stick into the top of each apple, pushing it about halfway in.
3. Prepare the Melting Pot: In a medium saucepan, add the Jolly Rancher candies and water. Optionally, add corn syrup for extra shine.
4. Melt the Candy: Heat the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring continuously until the Jolly Ranchers are completely melted.
5. Add Baking Soda: Stir in the baking soda, which will create a bubbly reaction, making the candy coating glow under UV light.
6. Coat the Apples: Carefully dip each apple into the melted candy mixture, allowing excess to drip off.
7. Cool the Apples: Place the coated apples on a sheet of parchment paper to cool and harden.
8. Repeat: Repeat the melting and coating process for any remaining apples.
9. Check Consistency: If the candy begins to harden while you’re working, reheat it gently to maintain a smooth consistency.
10. Serve and Enjoy: Once fully cooled, your glow in the dark apples are ready to impress!
