Bewitched Apple Cider

Fruit flavored hard candies are the secret flavoring ingredient for this Halloween brew.

Recipe Ingredients:

4 Assorted JOLLY RANCHER Original Hard Candies
16 fluid-ounces Apple cider (2 cups)

Cooking Directions:

1. Unwrap desired number of candies; place in microwave-safe glass measuring cup. Add just enough apple cider to cover candies. Microwave at HIGH (100%) 1 1/2 minutes; stir. If necessary, microwave at HIGH an additional minute at a time, stirring after each heating, until candies are dissolved when stirred.*
2. Add additional apple cider to make desired cup amount. Serve chilled or heat and serve hot. Garnish as desired.

Makes 2 (8-ounce) servings.

*Apple cider can also be made by adding candies to apple cider and allowing to sit 2 to 3 hours or until candy is dissolved.

Tip: Need more servings? For each cup of flavored apple cider you will need 2 JOLLY RANCHER Original Hard Candies.
