RE: Chocolate-Covered Caramel Apples

 

 

My word she goes to a lot of work! I make these apples every year (I

make around 50 for our Halloween party), and I do not go to nearly this

much work!

 

Here is my recipe for quick easy and delicious apples.

 

Fresh, hard apples. Don't ever refrigerate them!

Caramels melts! (here is the important part, get candy caramel melts at

a candy store or craft store, or order them off the internet)

Chocolate melts (same important thing)

Whole nuts (cheaper than chopped, just stick them in the blender or food

processor)

Bamboo skewers

 

Wash the apples. Dry them off and set them on a towel. Poke a skewer

down into each apple about 3/4s of the way through. If you get skinny

skewers, tape three together first then poke. Dry off excess apple

juice.

 

Put caramel melts into a bowl and stick in microwave. Microwave for 30

sec intervals stirring between until smooth. Dip and roll apples in

caramel. Pull out of bowl and twirl above to quick set the caramel and

create an even coating. Re-microwave if it gets to thick. Let set on

counter for two hours or in fridge for 30 min. Melt chocolate melts in

microwave. Chop nuts in food processor, put in bowl. Dip and roll apples

in chocolate and twirl above bowl, roll in nuts. Set for two hours room

temp, 30 min in fridge.

 

It is important to put them on parchment paper, it is the only thing I

know of that caramel does not glue to. You can get it at the same place

you get the candy melts.

 

Making fifty of these takes me about two hours (and an hour of that is

in the fridge time).

 

When all done I wrap in colored cellophane and tie with twisty ties then

smack a ribbon on.

 

If you are feeling creative, you can turn them into jack-o-lantern's by

using raisins to stick in the eyes, nose, and mouth before dipping in

nuts. Or just put in the raisins, or just put raisins in caramel. You

can also buy white candy melts and add coloring. One year I made a small

set that was dipped in white chocolate colored orange with green candy

leaves on top (I only made eight of these, since I had to make leaves).
