Candy Apples-Complete

 

I just love the fall, and I love fall cooking–especially with the little ones.

Sometimes with my busy schedule, I just don’t get a chance to try all the recipes that I want to try because I’m hunting for ingredients.  By the time I find everything I’m looking for, the mood is gone.  (Please tell me that I’m not the only one).

I was looking for a great easy treat to make with Zee and simple ingredients is what I needed.  This recipe was easy, straight to the point, and Zee loved it!  Not just eating the apples but the prep work too!

A great nice Fall treat that cured my sugar craving for a while.

    Hi Kalley, seems like a really great treat you’ve done here and thanks for sharing the recipe. Love the nuts as a coating too which would give it that additional crunch. Blessings

      Oh yes, I love peanuts on my caramel apple. I always loved getting them during the summer (caramel and jelly apples) but the prices are so high now. It’s better to just make it myself.

      Hahaha, girl you cracked me up! This WAS very gooey and sticky, and very sweet. When I make this again, it will be a while, because I do like everyone’s teeth!
