How to Wrap Candied Apples

* Wax paper

* Cellophane bags

* Ribbon or twine

* Scissors

Instructions:

1. Wash and dry the apples. Make sure the apples are completely dry before you start wrapping them, or the wax paper will stick to them.

2. Melt the candy coating. Follow the instructions on the package of candy coating to melt it.

3. Dip the apples in the candy coating. Hold the apple by the stem and dip it into the candy coating, swirling it around to coat the entire apple.

4. Let the apples cool and harden. Place the apples on a sheet of wax paper to cool and harden.

5. Wrap the apples in wax paper. Cut a square of wax paper that is large enough to wrap around the apple. Place the apple in the center of the wax paper and fold the edges up around it. Tie a piece of ribbon or twine around the stem of the apple to secure the wax paper.

6. Place the apples in cellophane bags. Cut a piece of cellophane that is large enough to fit the apple and fold it in half. Place the apple in the center of the cellophane and fold the edges up around it. Seal the bag with a piece of tape or a twist tie.

7. Add a decorative bow. Tie a bow around the stem of the apple to add a decorative touch.

8. Store the apples in a cool, dry place. Candied apples can be stored for up to two weeks in a cool, dry place.

Tips:

* To make the candy coating easier to work with, you can microwave it in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until it is melted and smooth.

* Be careful not to dip the apples in the candy coating too deeply, or the coating will be too thick and will not harden properly.

* Let the apples cool and harden completely before wrapping them in wax paper and cellophane bags.

* Store the apples in a cool, dry place to prevent them from melting or becoming sticky.
