Ghoulish Caramel Apples
Simple & Delicious
Guests will have almost as much fun trimming these gooey, caramel-apple
characters as they'll have biting into them! Wilma Bailey shares the sweet
treats
from Sedona, Arizona. TIP: Be sure to start with the apples at room temperature
because the caramel tends to slip off on chilled apples.
SERVINGS: 4
CATEGORY: Dessert
METHOD: Microwave
TIME: Prep/Total Time: 30 min.
Ingredients:
4 large tart apples
4 Popsicle sticks
4 orange candy slices
1 piece black rope licorice
1 piece red rope licorice
1 cup flaked coconut
3 drops green food coloring, optional
1 package (14 ounces) caramels
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
8 Skittles bite-size candies
1 tube decorating icing in color of your choice, optional
4 gumdrops
Directions:
Line a baking sheet with waxed paper and grease the paper; set aside. Wash and
thoroughly dry apples. Insert a Popsicle stick into the top of each; set
aside.
For eyes, cut candy slices horizontally in half. For eyebrows, cut black
licorice in half lengthwise; cut each half into four 2-in. pieces. For mouths,
cut red licorice into sixteen 1/4-in. pieces. For hair, tint coconut with food
coloring if desired.
In a microwave-safe bowl, heat caramels and cream, uncovered, on high for 1
minute; stir. Microwave 30-45 seconds longer or until melted; stir until
smooth.
Dip one apple into caramel mixture, turning to coat. Place on prepared pan.
Immediately decorate faces with candy slices and licorice pieces. For eyes,
press Skittles into caramel below candy slices or attach to candy slices with
decorating icing if desired. For nose, press a gumdrop into caramel. Sprinkle
coconut on top for hair. Repeat with remaining apples, rewarming caramel
mixture if needed. Yield: 4 servings.

People are like stained glass windows: They sparkle and shine when the sun is
out,
But when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is
a light shining from within.
