So I snatched up some bulls-eyes caramel creams from the warehouse (shh!), and took them home to make caramel apples.
It started out awful as I didn't realize I was supposed to add milk to the caramels while they melted in the double boiler. But soon we had delicious caramel that I dipped my giant granny smith apples in!
I then rolled them in different flavored sprinkles, wrapped the apple in saran wrap, and tied them with a ribbon. Yeah-pretty cute I might say!
This is just one of many fun projects you can do around the holidays when you are surrounded by candy.
Has anyone melted Hershey's chocolate in a double boiler to make those ridiculously sinful toffee bars? It is basically flour, brown sugar, butter, and eggs spread out on a cookie sheet in a giant rectangle. then you melt the Hershey's chocolate and pour it over the cookie, and top with crushed walnuts! Oh so good!
Send me your ideas for how YOU use candy to bake and create!
Merry Merry To All--
I have a recipe for you:
Ingredients:
1 Bag of Small Flat/Square Pretzels
1 Bag of Whole Pecans
1 Bag of ROLOS
Place your pretzels on a cookie sheet covered with wax paper, then place a ROLO on top of each pretzel....put them in a preheated 350 degree oven for only a few minutes (until ROLOS are soft) remove from the oven and then softly press a pecan on top of each one. Let them cool in refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Then you can enjoy!!!
Happy Holiday Season!!

The Caramel Apples sounds like a winner but where can I get those oversized gourmet granny smith apples?
