I made these for Halloween, they tasted terrific. They only covered 6 apples and if you cook this to the 245 degrees as stated it is sooo hard you can't bite it!! That is my only complaint, I cooked these exactly to the instructions. I will make again but change the cooking time, it also will burn easily if you don't have a heavy bottom pan.
