Caramel Apples

Last week the kids and I made our own caramel apples using Kraft Caramels. I bought the caramels during our regular commissary trip on a whim.

It was a fun activity for the kids that tasted great, too!!

All it takes to do this is 5 apples that are washed and dried, 1 bag of Kraft Caramels, and 2 Tbsp. of water. We also coated the bottom of our apples in sprinkles.

I was sure that we had Halloween sprinkles around here, but of course I couldn’t find them, so I guess we don’t. We used stars and dinosaur sprinkles instead.

First we instered the popsicle sticks that were included in the bag of caramels into the apples. This was much easier than I thought it would be. After I showed EA and MC how to do it, they were able to do this step all on their own!

The caramels were melted with water in a medium saucepan. You could also melt them in a microwaveable bowl with just 1 Tbsp. of water.

Then comes the fun part!

We dipped the apples in caramel. I let each of the children, even Will, take turns with this.

Then we scraped the bottoms and dipped them in the sprinkles.

They were placed on wax paper coated with cooking spray on a cookie sheet and refrigerated until we were ready to eat them.

And eat them we did!!! Yumm!
