We LOVE this recipe! We used it for caramel apples which came out perfect. A couple tips: first, a really fast way to get the wax off apples...just run them under very hot tap water for 10 seconds then wipe well with towel, and chill for an hour before coating. The caramel stuck very well. Next, don't chill coated apples for too long before rolling in toppings...this caramel actually sets up fairly quickly in the fridge. Also, we rolled the coated apples in finely crushed gingersnap cookies and they were phenomenal! They didn't stick to cellophane bags at all, and were perfect for Halloween. Last, my 4 year old son took the need for a "stick" quite literally, so we actually used crabapple twigs (which we washed after sharpening in a pencil sharpener) and it make a very pretty presentation. These were a huge hit at daycare and also at my office. We will use this recipe every year. Thanks so much for posting!!
