Caramel Apples

Tis the season for sweet treats!

  From Krystal's Kitchen

I love making caramel apples for my family because they are sweet and indulgent, but you also have the healthy benefits of an apple.. A perfect after-school-fall-snack!! Everybody wins!


Ingredients
8 small Granny Smith apples
20oz caramel squares
1/4 cup of Orange juice
2 squares of milk chocolate almond bark
8 craft sticks
Sprinkles (your choice)
.

You will need 8 small Granny Smith apples (or 6 medium if you prefer) washed and dried



Stick craft sticks in the tops of each and unwrap all your caramels. Put them in a sauce pan on medium heat and add 1/4 cup of orange juice. Stir constantly until its to a light simmer
(Yummm)

Let the caramel cool slightly.. (And then..let the fun begin!!!!) dip, dunk, swirl, twirl, and completely cover the apple in this goo-y deliciousness! Repeat 7 more times and let them rest on parchment paper. After the apples have cooled and the caramel has hardened, melt your milk chocolate almond bark. (I used the microwave) use a fork to drizzle the chocolate on the tops of the apple, and immediately add sprinkles!!! Let them set and then.. ENJOY! Remember a (caramel) apple a day keeps the doctor away!
