My Chocolate Fantasy

Fall brings harvest time, Halloween, football, and many other occasions for partying.  This year make a special treat that the kids will love–that’s kids from 2 to 102!  Make your own Funny Caramel Apple People.  This is a fun project to do with the kids.  In fact, depending on the ages of the children involved and your patience, this is a good make-your-own party project.  The kids will love designing their own funny people!  Again, we are talking about kids of all ages, wink, wink.FUNNY CARAMEL APPLE PEOPLE8 wooden sticks8 medium apples1 pkg (14-oz) caramels2 tbsp water1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chipsgumdropslifesaversnarrow licorice stringsWash and dry apples. Push a wooden stick into the stem end of each apple; set aside.In a large (4-cup) glass measuring cup combine the caramels and the water. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 2 minutes. Stir with a rubber spatula and cook on high another 30 to 60 seconds or more until caramels are completely melted. Stir until smooth.Put the mini chocolate chips on waxed paper; set aside. Dip each apple into the caramel mixture using a spoon to spread the caramel evenly over each apple. Hold the apple over the caramel while doing this so the excess caramel can drip into the cup. Dip the bottom of the apples into the chocolate chips for hair. Use the gumdrops for eyes, noses, etc. The lifesavers make great ears and/or mouths. Narrow red licorice strings make good mouths, black make a good handlebar mustache.Note: Candy corn could also be used for eyes, nose, jack-o-lantern mouths, especially for Halloween parties. Chopped nuts would also make good hair. For grandma and grandpa, white chocolate chips could be used for grey hair. Butterscotch chips could be used for blond hair. Use your imagination and have fun. Enjoy!
