YUMMY!

 These are bare naked apples. The green ones were more tasty in my humble opinion. Reds were soft.
 Aren't they lovely little soldiers all lined up and ready to go.

 These are all sticked and ready to carmelize.     Gloriousness achieved. Gooey, sticky, & blissful.

 Quaint little packages, just perfect for a Halloween gathering of little ghosts and goblins.

Does this not look like sin in heaven itself? It is.
One giant block of carmel just waiting to be made into masterful confections.

And this my friends is the secret to all caramel succcess. That's right, creamy, buttery Caramel from Peter's. You read correctly, 5 lbs. Five pounds of carmel in one giant brick. I got it at Orson Gygi's on 3300 s and 300 west. It is $13.00 a box and worth every penny. It covered 25 apples and was easy peasy to use. Just microwave and dip, I added some m&m's, yummy, yet not necessary.

I made these for a fun family home evening. We had a few families come over and had a lesson outside, along with a fire, (if you may have thought 'hmm,I wonder if the burned a hole in their lawn?' the answer is yes, a lovely round one) marshmellow roasting, hot cocoa, fun, & of course,

Caramel Apples.

We have some great friends and we are contantly amazed at the great people surrounding us. Thanks guys, you're the best. Fall is here and soon to be gone. Leaves are changing color and dropping from the trees, soup is being made, sweaters are on, and sad but true, I have said good-bye to my flip-flops. YAY for this time of year. The chill in the air, (our first official frost was last night), the feeling of cosying up inside and the Cocoa-motion in action is about as good as it gets.
