Absolutly the best! I know some members don't like it when a good review includes some alterations but that it actually what I like so much about All Recipes. I made my cake a layer cake and instead of mixing the pecans into the icing I toasted them and pressed into the sides as another members picture showed.

I let my husband rate this recipe and he gave it a 4. Like other members he would have liked a little less vinegar however I personally think that this could be affected by the brand of balsamic you use(some are stronger than others). Other than that he really did enjoy it. I would recommend this recipe as a good break from the ordinary.

This is the second time I've made these and everyone loves them! I make them for my kids school Halloween parties and I feel so proud when all of the other moms can't believe that I actually made them myself. I make them with smarties and oreo cookies as well as the s'mores and they look just like I bought them from The Rocky Mountain Chocolate Company. I read many of the other reviews and the tips really helped! Try and buy your apples without wax but if you can't just wash them well in warm water and make sure to dry them well. Also when picking your apples balance them in your hand to try and find the most level bottoms so that they sit nicely. I can't say that this is the only way but I chilled them in the fridge like other members advised and that worked well for me. You'll find that rolling them slowely after dipping them will help the caramel set before rolling in the toppings or placing the smarties on. I had a baking sheet with parchment paper in the freezer where I put my apples for 5 min to help set and then tranfered them to the fridge. I know time consuming but worth it for all of the compliments you'll receive!
