Galaxy Candy Apples | DIY Glitter Candy Apples with Edible Glitter!
I have been on a candy apple kick lately, earlier today I posted how to make candy apples, but of course, I could not just stop at that. There has been a lot of chatter on the interwebs about a pin on Pinterest for DIY Galaxy Candy Apples, and I knew that I had to try them!
First off, I did some research and ThreadBangers did a Man vs. Pin on this particular pin, and a long story short, they did not work as described. They got the desired look, but only by using inedible glitter. Well, I have a glitter intolerance, so that was not going to work for me! I wanted to figure out HOW to make them with edible glitter! After some trial and error, I figured it out! If you have never made candy apples, be sure to watch my how to here first to get the basics down. Then keep scrolling down to see how I was able to obtain this look that is both pretty and yummy!

The glitter makes it so pretty!
Can these be done with any colors and does the food coloring gel leave an after taste
Yes, you can use any color. I use Wilton brand food coloring and have never had any after taste issues.
