Holiday Festive Carmel Apples

HOLIDAY FESTIVE CARMEL APPLES!

The holiday are coming up quickly. I thought I'd share a recipe for one of the items I'll be adding to christmas baskets for some of my friends and family:


INGREDIENTS
6 apples
1 (14 ounce) package individually wrapped caramels, unwrapped
2 tablespoons milk

White chocolate
Dark chocolate
any kind of candy garnish like:
Sprinkles
Chopped nuts
Toffee bits
chocolate chips


DIRECTIONS
Remove the stem from each apple and press a craft stick into the top. Butter a baking sheet.
Place caramels and milk in a microwave safe bowl, and microwave 2 minutes, stirring once.

Also melt Dark chocolate and white chocolate in seperate containers or in a double boiler on the stove

Allow to cool briefly.
Roll each apple quickly in caramel sauce until well coated.

Roll in chopped nuts, toffee bits, or other candies.
Allow to cool.
Drizzle white chocolate or dark chocolate
Place on prepared sheet to set.

You can also roll quickly in carmel. allow carmel to cool and sort of harden.
And then roll in white or dark chocolate. And then drizzle or "splat" another layer of chocolate and sprinkles for decorations

Great gift to make with the kids so they can give them to their friends and teachers as gifts ;)
