HALLOWEEN CARAMEL APPLE

Steps:

• Grocery store apples have a wax coating. You will want to remove the coating before starting to make the caramel apples.
• The traditional way to remove the wax coating is to dip your apples in a pot of boiling water for a short amount of time. When you remove the apples, one at a time, from the pot of water, use a rough cloth to wipe the remaining wax off of the apples. Set aside to allow your apples to cool. (Make sure that your apples are dry). Push a stick into the core of each of the apples.
• Cover each of your cookie sheets with wax paper, taping down each end. Sray the lined cookie sheets with baking spray.
• Next, unwrap your caramels and put them in a glass bowl with 2 tablespoons of water and put it in your microwave.
• Put the bowl of caramels and water in your microwave cooking on heat for 2 minutes, stir and then return to the microwave for another minute, continue repeating this process until the caramel is fully melted.
• Pick up each apple by the candy stick with a fork under the bottom of the apple dipping it into the melted caramel. If necessary use a spoon to cover the apple with the caramel.
• Place each dipped apple on the wax papper lined cookie sheet. When your apples are done place in your refrigerator to cool for about 5 minutes.
• Dip each caramel covered apple into the bowl of peanut bits and roll the sides of the apple in the apple bits. Place back on the wax paper.
• Return to the refrigerator for 15 minutes or until the candy is firm on the apples.
• Melt the purple and orange candy melts in separate bowls in the microwave, one at a time. When the orange candy is melted completely (following the previous steps) pour it into a plastic squeeze bottle and drizzle each apple and set asside to cool in the refrigerator.

Holding them by the lollipop sticks, dip the apples in the caramel and roll them around to coat evenly. Lightly shake off excess caramel and set the apples stick-end up on the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate until the caramel is set, about 15 minutes.
