Caramel Apple Trees

I am a huge caramel apple fan. I'm still over the moon that I can make homemade caramels and we had a blast last fall making our first dipped apple treats.

When I found out that Wilton had come out with Caramel Apple candy melts, I knew I had to make these trees. But oh boy did I have a hard time finding them in the store.

I should have asked hubby first because within minutes he'd found they were in stock at our local Jo-Ann's craft store. They had three bags. I bought them all!

These treats are cute to the core and yummy too!

Now let's have some sweet fun!

Items needed: Caramel Apple candy melts, Wilton branch treat sticks, S'moreMallows, red and light brown fondant and (not pictured) green sugar sprinkles and parchmant paper.

 I used my sweet pie top crust cutter to make my fondant apples. I bought mine several years ago at an apple barn in the mountains.

I went online to see if they're still available and yes, they are!

Click here or here to purchase one of these cuties!

Roll out the red and light brown fondant and press cutter into fondant. I used the tip end of a food paintbrush to gently coax the tiny apples from the cutter.

 Aren't these little apples just darling?!

I used my Wilton fondant cutter tool to cut the "caramel" apples. A sharp knife will will just as well.

Trim just the top off the light brown apples, dab a drop of water to the back and place on top of the red apples.

I'm in LOVE!

 Let apples set while you melt the melts!

You can follow directions on the candy melts bag or you can be daring like me and melt on the stove. 

I use a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally till melted.

I found my Wilton tree branch sticks at Jo-Ann's store.

I was so excited to happen upon them in my search for the elusive candy melts.

Insert stick into marshmallow and dip into candy melts.

Immediately sprinkle on green sugar sprinkles and place on wax or parchment paper to set.

Wouldn't these be fun for a teacher's treat or your kid's lunchbox or a fall party?!

Dab a dot of melted candy to backs of apples and place on marshmallow trees. 

I have always wanted to say that! *wink*

Thanks so much for stopping by.

I love you a bushel and a peck!

Have a sweet day, Karen.  :o)

Caramel Apple Brownies!

Caramel Apple Desserts For Fall..I'm Kinda Hooked On Them Lately!

I didn't know if I would be able to even post these yummy brownies as my favorite camera may have bitten the dust. Then again, I've had it for nearly ten months. That seems to be the going rate for me anyways. 

But let's get back to sweeter things..like my grandson's birthday brownies. He really loved them although maybe not as much as his Mama! It seems his Mom is even more of a sugar nut than her Mom!

We have a brand new ready made icing flavor..Pillsbury Caramel Apple! Oh boy is it good. Like you can eat it with a spoon good. No kidding, this stuff is addictive. My oldest grandson has already put his order in for his birthday next year. I'm assuming this will be a seasonal flavor, so I'm going to stock up. 

 Pillsbury and Ghirardelli brownie mixes are my favorite packaged mixes.

Whichever brand you use, just substitute buttermilk for the water and add vanilla and butterscotch chips. Follow package directions for eggs and oil measurement. I add all wet ingredients to a bowl, whisk together and then stir in dry brownie mix.

 Stir in the butterscotch chips. I used a very generous cup. Probably more like 1 1/4 cups.

 Bake according to package directions.

 Let brownies cool for about 10 minutes. Heat icing for 30 seconds in microwave. 

Pour warm icing over warm brownies. Now see how long you can wait before digging into these..

 Caramel Apple Wonderfulness..

Ahhhhh..mmmmm..

Caramel Apple & Caramel Popcorn Lollipops!

Melting hard candies into lollipops..I love it!

If you wanna know just how much I love it..click here, here or even here!

Actually, melting candies is just plain fun. When I began seeing the melted peppermint trays, I made my own version here. But I couldn't stop there. Christmas was coming and I wanted to create something super cute..click here to see my ornaments! ..or here to see my pops. If you have any clicks left in you..click here to see my melted Christmas trees.

Whew! Sweet fun.. melted candies made even sweeter when you top them off with Jelly Belly beans. Buttered popcorn and red apple Jelly Belly beans are yummy flavors, but how about trying them paired with Werther's caramel candies!

These lollipops are my answer to Caramel Apples and Caramel Corn, after all, Fall is on the way!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Werther's original hard candies, Jelly Belly beans, lollipop sticks, a parchment lined pan and a few minutes are all you need to make these sweet pops.

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. You will melt candies for six minutes.

Remove pan from oven and immediately insert lollipop stick. Press jelly beans into the melted caramel. 

Let lollipops cool completely on pan. Remove and put in a lollipop bag with ribbon for a cute party treat!
