We have a whole long list of things we want to do this fall, and making candy/caramel apples was one of them. The kids had a good time, and learned how sticky caramel can really be.
First we started out with some shiny red apples:
And some fun halloween marshmallows on sticks (this was mostly for Aaron so he would have something to do). He put one marshmallow on each stick:
We melted some ooey gooey caramel:
And some delicious chocolate chips:
We added a bowl of fall colored m&m's:
Then we dipped and dipped and dipped. Aaron dipped his marshmallows in the chocolate:
April worked on dipping the apples in the caramel:
Finally, we ended up with some tasty treats! Yes, they don't look pretty, and by the way don't use wax paper like the directions on the back of the bag of caramels says. It doesn't work. Next time I think we'll have a better solution, but they were still pretty yummy.
This turned out to be pretty yummy too. I ate way too many of these chocolate marshmallows!
