Categories     dessert

Time 5h20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Vegetable oil cooking spray
6 small apples, washed and dried, stems removed *see Cook's Note
2 (9.5-ounce) bags soft caramel candies, unwrapped (recommended: Kraft Classic Caramels)
1/4 cup pulp-free orange juice
1 (4-ounce) bar 53 percent cocoa dark chocolate, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces (recommended: Nestle Chocolatier)
Assorted small candies, chopped nuts and sprinkles

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray it with vegetable oil cooking spray. Insert the craft sticks halfway into the stem-ends of the apples.
  • In a medium, heavy saucepan, over low heat, combine the caramel candies and orange juice. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the candies have melted and the mixture is smooth, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool for 2 minutes. Dip the apples in the caramel until coated and put them on the parchment paper until firm, about 2 hours.
  • Put the chocolate in a medium bowl and set it over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir until the chocolate is smooth and melted. Using a fork, drizzle the melted chocolate over the caramel. Put the apples back on the parchment paper for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with small candies, chopped nuts or sprinkles and allow the chocolate to harden, at room temperature, for about 3 to 4 hours.

CHOCOLATE CARAMEL COOKIE CANDY BARS

These are different than the other ones posted on here. We love these better than the "actual" real thing! The topping is traditionally a milk chocolate one but semi-sweet chocolate is good too. I am guessing at the prep time.

Provided by MarieRynr

Categories     Bar Cookie

Time 1h

Yield 36-60 bars

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons brown sugar, firmly packed
1 tablespoon corn syrup
1/3 cup white sugar
3/4 cup unsalted butter
2 tablespoons cream or 2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 (14 ounce) can condensed milk
1/4 cup unsalted butter
3 tablespoons corn syrup
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
milk chocolate candy bar (such as Dairy Milk or Hershey's)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Spray an 8 by 11 inch pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, blend the flour with the baking powder, baking soda, salt, corn syrup, white and brown sugar. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles a fine meal. Turn out into the baking pan and drizzle in cream and vanilla and toss by hand to combine until you have a slightly, damp, sandy mixture. Press or pat gently into the pan. Bake until edges are barely browned, 20-25 minutes. Remove and spread on the caramel.
  • Prepare the caramel while the bottom layer is baking.
  • In a medium saucepan, stir the condensed milk, corn syrup, butter, and brown sugar over low heat. Simmer, stirring once in awhile, 8-10 minutes, until mixture does not taste gritty (sugar dissolves), and is thickened and about 245°F Be careful that the bottom does not burn. If this happens do not stir the burnt part into the rest of the caramel. Pour caramel over baked (very warm, or still hot) cookie bottom.
  • Place the chocolate bars on the caramel. Using a metal icing spatula, apread the chocolate over the caramel to cover the top. Alternatively, chop the chocolate and sprinkle over the top (or use milk chocolate chips but chocolate bar chocolate tastes better), let melt a bit and then coat the top.
  • Refrigerate a few hours to let the chocolate set. Remove from the fridge, bring to room temperature, then cut into finger sizes.

ICING:
1 cup (6 ounces) milk chocolate chips
1/4 cup butterscotch chips
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter

  • Line a 13-in. x 9-in. pan with foil; butter the foil with 2 teaspoons butter and set aside. In a small saucepan, combine the milk chocolate chips, butterscotch chips and peanut butter; stir over low heat until melted and smooth. Spread into prepared pan. Refrigerate until set. For filling, in a small heavy saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add sugar and milk; bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook and stir for 5 minutes.

  • Stir the mixture constantly. This will help prevent the sugar from crystallizing.
  • Use a candy thermometer. This is the best way to ensure that the mixture reaches the correct temperature.
  • Be careful not to overcook the mixture. Otherwise, it will become hard and brittle.
  • Pour the mixture onto a greased baking sheet. This will help prevent it from sticking.
  • Let the mixture cool completely before cutting it. Otherwise, it will be too soft and sticky.
