Fall time is such a fun time of year... the weather starts to cool, the leaves start to change and you get to pull out your winter box which makes you feel like you have a whole new wardrobe. Oh WAIT! Those fall things do not happen in the DESERT where it is HOT all year round. So I guess I will wear shorts and flip flops and do fun fall activities to make it feel like its not April all year long. So Tracey, Mike, Brandon and I decided instead of going to the famous Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory we would make our own GOURMET CARAMEL APPLES.
We all got carried away and made way more apples than we could ever eat, but they were so fun to make it was hard to stop.
Mine was a RED apple (I know that is breaking the rules, but I don't really like green apples) dipped in caramel and topped with crushed up toffee. I have to say it may not have been the prettiest apple but in my opinon won the BLUE RIBBON for the YUMMIEST!
Brandon always surprises me when it comes to these "crafty" activities we do every now and then. He always ends up being the BEST at them. I only say I am surprised by it not because he isn't talented but because he is not ususally good at fine finger details. His apples turned out the cleanest and with the most creative designs. He could have sold them at the Chocolate Factory!
The caramel came from this cake decorating store in a huge 10 pound rectangle. Sorry KRAFT caramel squares you've been replaced with something BIGGER & BETTER!
