the apple of my eye



since we had all this halloween candy sitting around, the fruit was getting jealous. i've seen these candy apples for sale on qvc and thought that the price was ridiculous and outrageous.

my apologies to mrs. prindable.

we used honey crisp apples, dipped them in caramel, then dark chocolate, then chopped peanuts. outrageous is a good word for it.

and next time, we're going to use crushed pretzels instead of peanuts. because there WILL be a next time. oh yes.

one apple is enough for four people. before we started, cassie divided up the caramels from the bag and we had a race unwrapping them, so that part went pretty fast. we microwaved the caramels, so that went pretty fast, too. and when they had set in the fridge for a while, we microwaved the chocolate, too.

if you're gonna make these, use a lot of butter on the pan or on the waxed paper before you put the carameled apples down.
