Ah…Caramel Apples…the tartness of an apple and the sweetness of caramel makes them perfect! Many years ago, when the boys were young, we discovered the Caramel Apple Pops that Tootsie Roll makes. Oh…that was a happy day in our house! A certain someone might have even snuck a few and hid them to enjoy later. Shh…don’t tell!
Last Spring I shared with you how to make Homemade Jolly Rancher Lollipops, they are fun and super easy. So when I spotted that wonderful bag of Caramel Apple Pops in the Halloween candy aisle a couple weeks ago, I knew I needed to whip up a batch. And I’m so glad I did, of course, my waistline doesn’t think so. And the boys were pretty excited too!
Wouldn’t these be fun for a Halloween Party? Or even a classroom treat. After the caramel is set, just slip them into a cellophane bag. And with just 2 easy ingredients, they are easy to make and inexpensive as well.
The only special piece of equipment that you really need in parchment paper. Or if you have a Silpat, that will work also. Wax paper and foil just don’t work, in my experience.
Delicious treat that goes together in about 15 minutes. Recipe from HoosierHomemade.com

Bit of a weird question but are the caramels you use hard? Caramel in the UK is soft, and Toffee is hard so I want to make sure I use the correct stuff. They look amazing!!! YUM.

Hi Nicola, yes they hard pretty hard. They are made by Kraft, not sure if you have that brand. Any caramels you would use on apples will work.
Thanks for stopping by!
