one of my all time favorite treats is a caramel apple. i'm not talking about a plain jane caramel apple. i'm talking about a rocky mountain caramel apple with snickers. go big or go home people.
the other day i was craving one of these apples but darn it if we don't live anywhere close to a rocky mountain chocolate factory store. apparently the only store in GA is located within the ATL airport.
i decided i would try to tackle making my own snickers apple so i headed over to the closest grocery store and picked up some supplies.
and this is what i came up with. yum!!
here's what you will need:
one 14 oz bag of caramels
2 TBSP of water
5 granny smith apples, washed
4-5 snickers bars, frozen {we used about one per apple}
5 wooden sticks
i found this bag of caramels in the candy aisle of my neighborhood publix. the bag included five wooden sticks for making caramel apples with. bonus!
now let's get cooking.
chop snickers bars and place in a small bowl. set aside.
insert wooden sticks into the stem end of each apple. cover a plate with wax paper or tin foil; grease with butter.
melt caramels + the two tablespoons of water in a saucepan over medium heat. have your husband stir continuously until completely melted.
dip apples into caramel until evenly coated. you might need to spoon caramel over the apple to help coat the apple completely. allow excess caramel to drip off of the bottom of the apple. roll apple in the chopped snickers. it might be necessary to pick up the snickers pieces and place on the apple to coat the apple evenly.
place apples on prepared plate and refrigerate for one hour. remove from the refrigerator and let stand for fifteen minutes before serving. store leftover dipped apples in the refrigerator. {yeah right. like there will be any leftovers.}
p.s. i tried to get all fancy with my apple and drizzled some melted chocolate {chips} over the snickers. it didn't look pretty but boy did it ever taste good!!
