Related: About this forumHalloween candy apples.

Instead of caramel apples this Halloween, melt jolly ranchers in a 250 degree oven for around 5 minutes, then pour over your apples. Add edible glitter for the sparkling space effect!

I've been thinking about this lately, and it seems like it could work.

How did you get that blue color? Aren't Jolly Ranchers mostly just sugar anyway, so you're essentially making a version of caramel?
I'll stick with the candied cinnamon ones.
