No caramels to unwrap for these there easy and fun to make and the best caramel apples, you may roll the caramel apples in mini M&M's, nuts, chocolate, cereal or just about anything just make certain to roll while the caramel is still soft on the apples --- I made these often when my son was growing up especially around Halloween time, and also for many birthday parties, for me this has been the best recipe and I have tryed my share when my son was young --- kids of all ages just love these!

I forgot to mention in my review that if you have a SILPAT, or silicone baking liner, you can place them on there and they won't stick at all. No more butter required, and easy to clean.

I wish I could post you a picture of the 38 carmel apples nicely packaged for my Bible Story Time Kids. My 8 year old dd keeps exclaiming, "oh they are gonna love these mom!" I had to go through two batches before I got it down though. The first batch I overcooked, the second batch The milk curdled. Then I realized I needed to stir the carmel constantly. But the last three batches came out beautiful. I added salt because I used unsalted butter. The carmel is excellent. Thanks so much for the recipe!!!!

The directions need some improvement. #3 should read: Turn heat to LOW. Cook, stirring constantly until a candy thermometer reads 248 degrees (firm ball stage) about 30-40 minutes. Maybe this is obvious if you're a candy maker, but my first batch was ruined until I figured this out. The second batch (with edited directions) was wonderful!
