Caramel Apples

We’ve created a new tradition at our home, merging our Midwest Sweetest Day upbringing and the Halloween season by making caramel apples. I remember doing this when I was a kid, fun to swirl, lots of leftover melted caramel for some extra fondue dipping, and there was always a lively discussion about “nuts or no nuts?” on the apples. It was a little trickier to manage with the girls than I remembered but still a lot of fun! You really have to move fast dipping the apples while the caramel is really warm as it starts to stiffen as soon as it begins to cool. Gabby could handle holding the apple and swirling but that part was a little awkward for the twins. What they all loved more than the dipping was the decorating. We got a little creative coating our dipped apples with crushed banana chips, sprinkles, and trail mix (Safeway Select has a great one with raisins, peanuts, almonds, chocolate candies and peanut butter chips). We left a couple of the caramel apples plain too. What Halloween traditions do you have?
