This year I wanted to try making fancy caramel for all the “special” teachers. Calling them that makes me feel kindof weird. First, all teachers are special. Second, when it’s in quotes like that it makes them seem special in a not-so-good way. Moving on.
You want to use large apples: The one in the middle is for comparison. I did not use that one.
I made caramel sauce in the crockpot using this method. Start early… mine took the full 8 hours. Then it has to sit awhile to thicken up.
Once it’s thick, you can start dipping.
I set mine on my silpat and wax paper. The caramel was good, but didn’t harden. Even when I tasted one (had to make sure they were good!) a day later, the caramel was still sticky even when it was refrigerated almost 24 hours.
Good thing I had planned to dip them in chocolate too!
I melted up some candy melts I had on hand from grand plans of making cake balls. And dipped again.
Let the chocolate harden.
And then more chocolate!! Melt some chocolate chips.
Spoon it into a ziploc bag and cut the tiniest corner off the bag.
And drizzle
Melt some white chocolate chips and drizzle that one top the chocolate. I know, a lot of chocolate and a lot of mess, but oh-so-yummy!
And the perfect little gift.

I’m amazed, I have to admit. Seldom do I come across a blog that’s equally educative and interesting, and without a doubt, you have hit the nail on the head.
The issue is something which not enough folks are speaking intelligently about.
Now i’m very happy I found this during my search for something relating to this.
