Extended data:

Because Halloween is near the harvest time of apples, toffee apples have become a festive food. The method is to insert the apple with a bamboo stick, then hold the bamboo stick and put the apple in the toffee syrup for rotation, and sometimes stick the nuts on it.

Once upon a time, families would prepare toffee apples for their children, but when it was rumored that someone put pins and blades in the apples, the habit of giving toffee apples gradually disappeared. Although most cases are just pranks, even in real cases, children are only slightly injured, but many parents still think that putting blades in apples is very common.
