MINI CHOCOLATE DIPPED CARAMEL APPLES WITH VANILLA SWIRLS
Steps:
- Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper. Remove the stem from each apple and press a wooden stick into the top. Put the caramels and milk in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 4 minutes, stirring once. Add more time in 30 second increments, if needed.
- Roll each apple quickly in the caramel sauce until well coated and shake to remove the excess. Arrange on the baking sheet to set. Cool for 30 minutes.
- Melt the chocolate candy melts in a double boiler. Dip the cooled apples into the chocolate and return to the baking sheet. Cool for 30 to 45 minutes.
- Fill a microwavable squeeze bottle halfway with colored vanilla flavored candy melts and microwave it in 30 second increments, squeezing the bottle to distribute the heat. Drizzle on the cooled apples and decorate with a bow when completed.

MINI CARAMEL APPLES
Steps:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray lightly with cooking spray.
- Wash the apples well, then dry them thoroughly. Insert candy apple sticks into the stem end of the apples.
- Combine the caramels, cream and salt in a small saucepan and heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly melted and smooth, 7 to 8 minutes. Dip an apple into the caramel, tilting the pan if necessary to ensure the apple is well-coated. Roll the apples in the garnishes if using. Repeat with the remaining apples and caramel. Cool completely on the parchment paper, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the paper and serve.
Tips:
- Use a variety of apple sizes and shapes for a visually appealing display.
- For a smooth caramel coating, use a candy thermometer to ensure the caramel reaches the correct temperature.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the caramel by dropping a small amount into a bowl of cold water. If the caramel forms a soft ball, it's ready.
- To make the caramel apples extra special, try dipping them in crushed nuts, sprinkles, or even chocolate chips.
- If you're short on time, you can use store-bought caramel sauce instead of making your own.
- Caramel apples can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
