Every Fall my mother and I would make caramel apples. Not from scratch but she used the caramel apple wraps. I really didn't know there was any other way. LOL However, I want to carry on this tradition with Madison but try a semi-homemade version. Plus I wanted to make some for Madison's Halloween party but wanted to test them out before the party.
So for my first time- we made caramel apples from bag of caramels melted in microwave with 2 tablespoons of milk. Madison loved dipping the apples into the caramel and putting on the M&Ms.
However, the caramel started to slide off. I put 2 in the refrigerator to stop the sliding process.
Madison was very proud of her creations. The caramel stayed on the ones in the refrigerator better. The ones left out almost completely slid of. I don't remember this happening with the caramel wraps! The bag made 5 caramel apples for us. A whole caramel apple is way too much for my little one to eat. So I've decided to do the mini caramel apples for the party. I feel this is much better for the little ones. If you have had much success with mini caramel apples please give me the 411!
