Our Test Kitchen staff used cinnamon and chocolate to give a fun and tasty twist to traditional caramel apples. Rolled in nuts, coconut or colorful candies, they'll delight kids of all ages. Ingredients:
2 packages (14 ounces each) caramels |
3 tablespoons milk chocolate chips |
3 tablespoons water |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract |
8 popsicle sticks |
8 large tart apples |
chocolate-covered toffee bits, finely chopped salted peanuts and cashews, flaked coconut, m&m's miniature baking bits and/or chocolate sprinkles |
Directions:
1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the caramels, chocolate chips, water, cinnamon and vanilla. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 1-1/2 minutes; stir. Microwave 30-60 seconds longer or until caramels are melted. 2. Insert Popsicle sticks into the apples; dip into caramel mixture, turning to coat. Roll in or press on desired toppings. Place on waxed paper; let stand until set. Yield: 8 servings. |
