Caramel Apples

October is National Caramel Apple Month.

A caramel apple is not just a healthy snack (with a stick) dipped in liquid caramel and allowed to cool and harden.

A caramel apple can be a delicious, wonderful dessert. A sweet treat ready to share, with the varieties of coverings being endless.

All caramel apples start with a crisp, fresh apple, usually a Granny Smith drenched in rich, buttery caramel. But why stop there; add nuts, crispy cereal, peanut butter, candies, marshmallows, graham crackers, candy bars, cookies, chocolate chips, and always fresh, creamy, melted gourmet chocolate.

Caramel apples are called by many names: caramel apples, taffy apples, chocolate apples, candy apples, carmel apples, or candied apples, gourmet apples, dessert apples.

Whatever the name or combination they are a sweet crunchy treat that is perfectly caramelicious, and is always better with chocolate.
