Cooking Games: Caramel Apples


If you’re having friends over for Halloween, why not make one of the oldest Halloween recipes in the book? Caramel, or candy, apples. To make caramel apples, you’ll only need a few things. Making them with friends is the best choice as it can be a bit of work wielding apples on a stick – plus you’ll have someone to enjoy eating the apples with when you’re done.

Melt Caramel
Grab a bag of caramel candies and dump them into a microwave safe bowl. Heat the bowl in the microwave for a minute until the candy starts the melt. Stir the melting mixture and continue to microwave the candy until it is all melted and smooth – but not scorched.

Prepare Apples
While one person is getting the caramel ready, another can be dealing with the apples. You should have small apples from the store. Clean then thoroughly and then stick a craft stick into the top of each. Spread a sheet of wax paper out on the counter and you’re ready to begin.

Roll each apple through the caramel to cover it completely. Try not to drip much caramel as you place the apple (stick side up) on the paper to cool. When your apples are dipped and then cooled off completely – enjoy!
