Homemade Caramel Apples

Learn how to make delicious Homemade Caramel Apples from scratch with easy to follow instructions to make homemade caramel for dipping the apples.

Caramel Apples are another fall favorite since the apples are in season and Halloween is just around the corner. Wouldn't these be perfect for a party with some Caramel Corn? 

I'm not sure how this all happened but we have been all about the caramel in our house lately and there's no better way to enjoy caramel then smothered over a Granny Smith Apple. I love the tart crisp apple meets the sweet salty caramel.

The best part about caramel apples is the possibilities are endless when it comes to decorating with the kids. The kids had used some harvest colored M&M's to decorate the apples after they set up this time. 

A little fleur de sel salt sprinkled over the top would be divine or a little drizzle of some dark or white chocolate is heavenly. Dip in nuts, coconut,chocolate chips, if you dream it you can have it.

Here's how you make caramel for apples:

Coffee's a morning time staple in our house and with Starbucks Iced Coffee Brewed To Personalize I now can have an Iced Coffee in under 3 minutes on busy mornings.

One of my favorite drinks is a Snickers Starbucks Iced Coffee. I can never pass on chocolate, caramel and Starbucks.

I just love how easy and convenient Starbucks Iced Coffee- Brewed To Personalize is.

Here's how I make my favorite drink:

In a small saucepan heat 1/2 cup Milk, 2 tablespoons Chocolate Chips and 3 tablespoons Caramel Sauce over medium heat until chocolate is melted.

Remove from heat and stir in 1 1/4 cups Starbucks Ice Coffee -Brewed To Personalize.

I like my coffee sweet and creamy, feel to adjust amount of coffee to your personal taste.

Fill a large cup 1/3 of the way full with ice. Pour coffee mixture over the ice.

Cover with whip cream and additional caramel sauce.

Oatmeal Chocolate Caramel Carmelitas

For some odd reason every time I make these Oatmeal Chocolate Caramel Carmelita's they're gone before I can even snap a photo.

This week our small group put out an APB for dessert since the family who was bringing dessert came down with the flu.

 How could I possibly not offer my dessert making skills?

So Tuesday morning I scavenged the cupboards to find some kind of sweet treat to make.

I haven't made Carmelita's since last winter and thought it was long over due for some Oatmeal Chocolate Caramel goodness.

Plus I was hopeful for a picture which almost didn't happen because Colt had a late night sweet tooth and ate about a third of a pan of Oatmeal Carmelita's with or without my help late Tuesday night.

I was relieved to find 2 bars left unharmed, whew that was close!

Please beware Oatmeal Chocolate Caramel Carmelita's disappear fast!

Fudge Brownies With Caramel Swirl

Oh sweet Fudge Brownies With Caramel Swirl you are divine!

I will let you in on a little secret the edge pieces are so super yummy. It has this nice little bit of chewy caramelly goodness.. Straight from heaven.

These were made for a game night over at our friends house. and I think I was in a bit of trouble from their teenagers when I took the last 2 brownies home. 

I hadn't taken a picture yet and I felt rather guilty, I usually leave any extra for our wonderful hosts to enjoy later.. 

My hubby has already been hinting for me to make these again... 

Oh sweet dessert lusciousness... You will be made again soon.. Maybe tomorrow..
