If you are looking for a fun and easy craft to make with your children this weekend, caramel apples might just do the trick.

We made them this morning. The hardest part, next to peeling the wrappers off the caramels, is keeping them out of your kids’ and husband’s mouths.

All you need is:

• a one bag of Kraft Caramels -it actually comes with the sticks

• 5 granny smith apples

• 2 tbsp of cream

Directions:

Wash and dry the apples and insert wooden sticks in their core.

Unwrap all the caramels, placing them in a small pot, with 2 tbsp of cream. Heat on medium to low heat and stir until all the caramels are melted. Dip the apples in the caramel sauce until they are evenly coated. Scrap any excess off the bottom and place on a piece of wax or parchment paper. Cool and serve.

The kids can also roll them in chopped pecans or shredded coconut or decorate them with sprinkles. From start to finish it takes about 15 minutes.

Cheers

Julie
