candy apple
Crimson carnival treat
A candy apple is an apple on a stick coated with a hard shell of red sugar syrup, a classic carnival and fair treat.
The coating cracks when you bite through to the fruit beneath.
The kids came back from the fair with sticky candy apple residue all over their faces.
By extension, candy apple red describes the glossy, deep red color of the coating, popular for cars and guitars.
