Halloween Fun!

My Aunt Amber taught me last year how to make the yummiest caramel EVER! It's way easy and nothing beats caramel apples for great halloween treats! This is the second batch of 12+ apples that I've made. I took some to work, gave one to Eth's preschool teacher, a few friends and of course ate some my self...no wonder why my jeans feel snug ha. Anyways they are divine!

Letting the caramel boil

Got my apples washed and got my sticks in

Toppings ready...white chocolate, chocolate, almonds, cinnamon and sugar, sprinkles, mini choc chips.

Dipping my apples

Letting the caramel cool on the apples before we "do the fun part" as Ethan calls it

YUMMY all decorated

This one is by far the best. Caramel apple rolled in white chocolate then sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar oh my gosh so dang good!

Then I went to Dollar tree got these little halloween bags, printed out a little tag, tied some ribbon around it and there you go a cute and YUMMY treat!

CARAMEL RECIPIE:

1 Stick of butter

1 can sweented condensed milk

1 can white sugar

1 can brown sugar

1 can karo syrup

little vanilla

(use the "can" of your sweented cond. milk as your measuring can for your sugars and syrup)

Put all together in a large pot bring to boil, pretty much stirring the whole time. Once it's at a good boil let it boil for 10 mins ( I time it) this way you know your caramel isn't going to be too soft/hard. Once it's boiled ten mins take off stove let sit for 3 mins...then get dipping. I love Gala apple, honey crisp are great to, but use whatever you like! One batch of caramel does about 12-15 apples depending on how big that are. The last batch I did gave me 13. Your apples should be room temp, then I wash them take out the stem and put the sticks in. Have your apples ready so right when you caramel is ready you can dip them. The caramel needs to cool before adding the white chocolate, or whatever. I buy the "almond bark" in white and normal choc, I microwave it then dip my apples. Some of them I drizzle on just put the choc in a plastic baggie and cut a small hole. Then decorate how you want. Walnuts and almonds are good, sprinkles. mini chocolate chips whatever your heart desires. My fav is the one covered all the way in white choc then rolled in cinn and sugar!

HALLOWEEN PENDANT BANNER:
