Forget the usual orange and red — this Halloween, it’s all about the dark side of sweet. Our Spooky Black Nigella Seed Toffee Apples are a thrilling twist on the traditional fairground favourite. The glossy midnight sheen comes from black food colouring, while Greenfields Black Nigella Seeds add subtle nuttiness and a mysterious crunch that feels straight out of a witch’s cauldron. They’re fun to make, wickedly beautiful, and totally Instagram-worthy.
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
Cooling time: 30 minutes
Total time: 1 hour
6 medium apples (Granny Smith or Braeburn work well)
400g caster sugar
100ml water
1 tbsp golden syrup
½ tsp black food colouring gel
2 tsp Greenfields Black Nigella Seeds
A pinch of Greenfields Himalayan Pink Salt (Fine)
Wooden sticks for the apples
Optional: edible gold dust or flakes for a magical touch
Wash the apples in hot water to remove any wax, then dry thoroughly and push a wooden stick firmly into the centre of each apple.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper and lightly oil it.
In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, water, and golden syrup. Heat gently until the sugar dissolves.
Bring to the boil without stirring, until the mixture reaches 150°C (hard crack stage) on a sugar thermometer.
Remove from the heat and quickly stir in the black food colouring, Greenfields Nigella Seeds, and a pinch of Greenfields Himalayan Pink Salt.
Working swiftly, dip each apple into the glossy black toffee, twisting to coat evenly. Place on the prepared tray to set.
Once cool, dust lightly with edible gold for a magical, eerie shimmer.
