One F.H.E in October we read the Friend, ate pizza (gotta love that Papa John's Monday night deal) and made caramel apples. I don't know what my deal is with "gourmet" caramel apples, but I can't make them to save my life. If I try anything beyond basic, take the wrapper off the caramel, it is always a disaster. I have learned in years past not to make my own caramel (and I am a pretty good caramel maker) as it has never stayed on the apple. This year I thought if I used the wrapper caramels then I could add fun things to the outside. Well, melted chocolate chips did not work AT ALL! Maybe I should take a class, or just live with the fact that I will never make gourmet caramel apples.
At least someone wanted to eat them.
They weren't pretty, but the boys ate them (most of them, they were pretty rich).
Oh well, at least we could check it off our Halloween list of stuff to do.
