Williams-Sonoma offers a Halloween candy apple that has a secret ingredient: Black Poison. If you enjoy the danger of living on the edge, this is the Halloween treat for you.
Okay, so it's not really poison. Actually, the delectable Granny Smith apples are double-dipped in caramel followed by molten-black chocolate, giving them a decidedly venomous appearance that looks pretty hard to resist -- I now understand Snow White's dilemma.
The high-end kitchen and houseware retailer knows how to do Halloween with style. If you're hosting a soiree this October 31st, offer your guests these glamorous -- yet sinister -- treats. If you prefer a little DIY, you can recreate the look at home pretty easily.
