Halloween Caramel Apples
A chocolate drizzle sprinkled with crushed candy makes ordinary caramel apples especially yummy—like the fancy ones in some candy shops. Be sure to start with the apples at room temperature so the caramel won’t slip off like it tends to on chilled apples.
8 Servings
Prep: 30 min. + chilling
Ingredients
1 package (11-1/2 ounces) milk chocolate chips
2 tablespoons shortening
2 packages (14 ounces
each
) caramels
1/4 cup water
8 large tart apples, room temperature
8 Popsicle sticks
3 to 4 Butterfinger candy bars (2.1 ounces
each
), coarsely crushed
Directions
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and shortening; stir
until smooth and set aside. In another microwave-safe bowl,
microwave the caramels and water, uncovered, on high for 1 minute;
stir. Heat 30-45 seconds longer or until caramels are melted; stir
until smooth.
Line a baking sheet with waxed paper and grease the paper; set aside.
Wash and thoroughly dry apples. Insert a Popsicle stick into each;
dip into caramel mixture, turning to coat. Place on prepared pan.
Drizzle with melted chocolate. Sprinkle with crushed candy bars.
Refrigerate until set. Remove from the refrigerator 5 minutes before
serving; cut into wedges. Yield: 8 servings.
