Things You'll Need
Waxed paper
Cellophane sheets
Dried candy apples
Decorative ribbon
The taste of sweet red candy combined with the crisp flavors of an apple create the perfect pairing in the form of candy apples. The traditional candy apple is an apple on a stick dipped in melted red candy mixture, but modern candy apples are dipped in a variety of melted sauces and rolled in toppings such as nuts, candy sprinkles and chocolate chips. Homemade candy apples make a great personalized gift. Wrapping them can be tricky because of the stick and the candy coating, but cellophane paper works well for wrapping candied apples.
Step 1
Allow the freshly-dipped candy apple to cool completely on waxed paper.

Step 2
Lay a sheet of 12-inch by 12-inch cellophane flat on a counter.
Step 3
Place the candy apple in the center of the cellophane sheet. You can use clear cellophane or colored cellophane for a more festive look.
Step 4
Gather up the edges of the cellophane paper to cover the candy apple and have the edges meet at the stick at the top of the apple.
Step 5
Tie the cellophane to the stick using decorative ribbon. Cut excess cellophane at the top if necessary.
Warning
Do not let the candy apples sit out in a warm room for too long, because the candy will begin to melt. Refrigerate the candy apples until you are ready to give them to someone.
