Insert wooden stir stick into stem end of each apple, Holding stick, dip 1 apple into hot toffee mixture, spooning over apple to cover completely and letting excess drip back into bowl. Press end of apple into 1 candy mound, pushing candies into toffee to help adhere. Let stand. Repeat with remaining apples, reheating toffee if beginning to thicken. Refrigerate apples for at least 1 hour or until firm or for up to 8 hours.
