Okay...these didn't turn out all that great for me at first. They taste just wonderful, the problem is they aren't very pretty. At least not the way you see them in the stores. But as I went on, I learned a few tricks. First, don't use as much water in the caramel as it says on the bag. It won't harden as well. Second, wait a little while after heating the chocolate before dipping. If you dip them immediately, the chocolate will melt the caramel and everything will run back off. And let the chocolate sit for a minute before adding any decoration (candy, nuts, etc.).
Also, this is very time-consuming and messy. So if you have made these or try this and find an easier way, please let me know how they turned out!
5-6 Large Apples
1 bag caramels (i used the new caramel bits)
Sticks for apples - ask in the meat dept and most places will give them to you free!
Chocolate wafers
Candy/Cookies/Nuts for decoration
Wash and dry apples. Press sticks thru top center of each.
Heat caramel with 1 tbsp water in microwave for 1 minute. Stir vigoriously until smooth. Immediately dip apples in hot caramel and set on wax paper. Let set for about 15 minutes. Once they cool, you may have to scoop the dripped caramel up and press back onto apple
Heat chocolate in microwave. Let chocolate sit and cool for a few minutes. Spoon melted chocolate over apple. Let sit and cool. Sprinkle with any additional toppings.
Examples of kinds I made...
