Fill Up All That Spare Time

Tis the season..to be scary! And sugary! With Halloween right around the corner, this week our spare time idea will be a tasty Halloween treat, with a slightly healthy undertone. We will be making caramel apples.

Ingredients:
apples
caramel candies
popsickle sticks

First Step: chose your apples *hint* the smaller the apples, the easier it will be to make and enjoy! Step Two: Prepare cooking area. Have caramel melting pot ready, along with popsicle sticks, a place to sit the apples to cool and harden (usually a cooking sheet covered by wax paper) and a wooden spoon at the ready. Step Three: prepare caramel by unwrapping each piece and melting (at a low temperature) and stirring constantly Step Four: dip each apple into the caramel and cover completely *add any additional toppings ex. nuts, m&ms, sprinkles, choclate chips. candy corn, gummy bears etc.* before caramel hardens Step Five: place "dipped" apple on to baking sheet and into the refridgerator to cool off Step Six: enjoy sweet and tasty, yet a little healthy, caramel apples *be sure to eat within three days of making them

This is a cheap, fun thing to do around the time of Halloween with the roommates and friends or even by yourself. So grab the apples you picked last week and create a tasty treat this Halloween
