Recipe: Ultimate Caramel Apples

Ingredients

as desired assorted toppings (e.g., crushed oreos, crushed butterfingers, chopped macadamia nuts, chopped almonds, sprinkles, chopped marshmallows)

Wash and dry the apples, then insert a craft stick into each apple and place them on a greased jellyroll pan in the refrigerator.
Cook the caramel according to the directions, heating it to 239 degrees before removing it from heat.
Pour the caramel into a medium saucepan and let it cool for 20 minutes.
Dip each apple in the caramel, swirling to coat, and scrape off excess caramel.
Tilt the apples upside down to allow the caramel to set before returning them to the greased pan.
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth.
Coat the caramel apples with melted chocolate and sprinkle desired toppings before the chocolate cools.
Return the coated apples to the refrigerator until the chocolate is set.
Let the caramel apples sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving.
