Here's a way to make easy caramel apples with fancy looking drizzles and flavors. These make delicious gifts, party favors, and classroom treats.

Ingredients

• 1 (14 oz.) pkg. caramel candies, unwrapped; OR, 1 (11 oz.) pkg. caramel bits
• 2 tablespoons water
• 5 to 6 medium apples
• 5 to 6 popsicle or craft sticks
• chopped nuts, cookies, or candies (if desired)
• melted chocolate for drizzling (if desired--see the recipe for melting baking chips for drizzling online at www.TheYummyLife.com/recipes/26)

Directions

Wash apples, dry thoroughly, remove stems, insert sticks in stem end, and refrigerate. Put caramel bits or candies in medium microwave-safe bowl, add water, microwave on high for approx. 3 minutes until melted. Stop at 1 minute intervals to stir. Place each apple into bowl of melted caramel, swirl around until coated, using a spoon to cover apple. Remove apple from caramel and let excess drip off, scraping excess from bottom with spoon. If desired, roll coated apple in chopped nuts, cookies, or candies. Press in with hands to help them set in the caramel. Place on greased waxed paper or aluminum foil and return to fridge to chill and set. If desired, drizzle chilled apples with melted chocolate. Return to fridge. Or, wrap each caramel apple in an individual bag, tie it, and store at room temperature. They will keep for several days.
