We invited the twins over to do a craft today post-nap.
It didn't turn out as magical as I'd hoped, but it was a fun little activity!
And...after we delivered them to our friends, we realized that the caramel was so hard that it almost pulled out MY teeth...sad! Anyway, don't know how to fix that problem, but, that's why we buy carmeled apples from gourmet shoppes like the North Pole in Big Bear or the Rocky Mountain Whatever Company. but all in all, it was a fun little activity for the little guys and girl. Thanks to Merrick and Berkleigh for playing today! Sorry to those of you that we gave our sweet treats to...you can toss them if you want!! :)
It didn't turn out as magical as I'd hoped, but it was a fun little activity!I used my melon baller to get little balls from a few apples. (Ha! I actually have a melon baller...becky!) We dipped them in melted caramels (which were very hard to find, for some reason, but that's another anti-Wal-mart story)...And then dipped them in sprinkles.
So, the caramel didn't stick very well to the parts of the balled-apples that didn't have the skin...lesson learned, next time we'll just melt chocolate chips.

They look cute...sorry they didn't turn out as well as you wanted. I didn't try caramel, we just did the chocolate. You guys look like you had fun making them though.
I have a recipe for microwave carmels that is KILLER! I ate five at Enrichment a few weeks ago (stomache ache)! I'll send it to you! What a darling idea!
