Food Project for Halloween- Carmel Apples

Caramel apples. A Halloween treat. What you need: Apples (Granny Smith are I think are best for this.) Popsicle sticks. A bag of caramels. Cookie sheet. Wax paper. Double pot that has handles. Note: Be careful working with hot caramel.
Line cookie sheet with wax paper. Wash apples and dry them. Place apples on cookie sheet, spacing them at least 3-4 inches apart. Melt caramels in a double pot (A pot that fits inside a pot. The first pot on the stove boils water; the other pot inside this melts the caramels.) When caramels are melted carefully pour over apples. Before the caramel cools on the apple poke popsicle stick in top. This will be the handle so your child can eat the caramel apple. If you must have caramel on the bottom of the apples you can try this. Before you place apples on wax paper pour a little melted caramel on the spots you plan to place apples. Then quickly place apples in this caramel. Now you can pour caramel on top of apples. Let carameled apples cool and harden before eating them.
