Periódico Halloween

RECIPES
AFTER AN OVERWHELMING START OF THE YEAR AND A STRESSFUL MONTH OF
OCTOBER, ONE OF THE MOST EXPECTED PARTIES OF THE YEAR HAS ARRIVED.
WITH THIS LITTLE EXCUSE, WHY DON’T WE TAKE A BREAK AND DO A
CREATIVE AND PRACTICAL ACTIVITY WITH OUR CLASSMATES? IN THE NEXT
SECTION YOU’LL FIND A THRILLING AND KIND OF CREEPY CRAFT WHICH CAN BE
MADE IN ORDER TO SPEND A GOOD TIME WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND TO SHOW
YOUR ARTISTIC QUALITIES. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT:
CANDY APPLES
IT'S FROM THE U.S.A, ALSO KNOWN AS "MANZANA DE CARAMELO" IS A REALLY SIMPLE
AND DELICIOUS RECIPE THAT YOU CAN RECREATE FOR THIS VERY SPECIAL DAY. THIS
ARE THE INGREDIENTS:
4 APPLES
300G OF SUGAR
50 ML OF WATER
100G OF BUTTER
COLORANT ( OPTIONAL )
WHITE CHOCOLATE ( OPTIONAL )
IT'S AS EASY AS WASHING THE APPLES VERY WELL AND DRYING THEM VERY
CAREFULLY BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT ANY RESIDUAL LIQUID TO REMAIN. WE INSERT
WOODEN OR METAL STICKS IN THE APPLES AND THEN, WE'LL SET THEM ASIDE
BECAUSE IT'S TIME TO MAKE THE CARAMEL.
FOR THE CARAMEL, PUT WATER IN A SAUCEPAN, ALONG WITH LEMON JUICE AND
SUGAR, AND LET IT MELT OVER LOW HEAT. WHEN IT'S WELL MELTED, ADD THE
BUTTER AND WAIT FOR THE CARAMEL TO TAKE COLOUR (A SLIGHTLY BROWN
COLOUR), STIRRING CONSTANTLY WITH A WOODEN SPOON SO THAT THE CARAMEL
DOESN'T BURN. WHEN IT'S ALMOST READY WE CAN OPTIONALLY ADD FOOD
COLORING OF DIFFERENT COLOURS (LIKELY RED OR GREEN) AND WE'LL CONTINUE
MIXING.
WE SET THE CARAMEL ASIDE AND WE TAKE THE APPLES AGAIN, THIS TIME, WE'LL DIP
THEM IN THE CARAMEL. ONCE WE DIP THEM WE'LL LET THEM COLD DOWN, BUT WE
CAN ALSO DIP THE APPLES IN REALLY COLD WATER SO THEY WILL COOL FASTER. IF
WE WANT THEM TO LOOK SPOOKY, WE CAN USE MELTED GREEN CHOCOLATE (IT'S
WHITE CHOCOLATE WITH GREEN FOOD COLORING !) TO MAKE A SKULL IN THE
APPLE TO IMITATE THE POISONED APPLE IN SNOWHITE.
