Chocolate Caramel Apples

Category: Kids, Desserts, Apples, Chocolate

 Ingredients List

  • 5 ripe apples, washed and dried (Honey Crisps and Granny Smith are excellent choices)
  • wooden skewers, lollipop/sucker or popsicle sticks
  • 11 ounces caramels (caramel bits work best)
  • 12 ounces good chocolate for melting (I recommend Merckens Dark Chocolate Break Up. Also, I used dark chocolate, but use what you like)
  • optional: toppings for sprinkling, dipping or drizzling (chopped nuts, candy sprinkles, melted chocolate for drizzling)

 Directions


Prepare apples for dipping. If using sticks, insert into apples at stem stopping before puncturing through bottom of apple.

Line baking sheet with wax paper and spray with cooking spray.

Melt caramels according to package instructions. One at a time dip apples, letting extra caramel drip off. Place on wax paper to cool. Once all have been dipped, place in refrigerator for at least an hour to let caramel set up.

Using kitchen shears, if needed trim caramel "feet" (extra blob of caramel on bottom of apple) off of apples before dipping in chocolate. (See photo above.)

Melt chocolate according to package instructions. Dip caramel covered apples in chocolate until evenly covered. Let extra chocolate drip off. If adding toppings, sprinkle, dip or drizzle now. Place finished apple on wax paper until set.

Serve right away or cover and refrigerate until needed. Depending on apple, should keep 3-5 days refrigerated.
