Not your typical caramel apples...almost too cute to eat.
Recipe and image from Country Living
(makes 12)
12 crisp apples
1 1/3 cups dark corn syrup
1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
1 1/3 cups light brown sugar
1 1/3 cups heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons butter
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Line a baking pan with a generously oiled sheet of parchment paper. Push a candy apple stick into the core of each apple. Combine the syrup, sugars, heavy cream, and salt in a large saucepan over medium0high heat. Simmer until the mixture reaches 270°F – about 15 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in the butter and vanilla. Let cool for 6 to 8 minuets, until caramel thickens to a toffeelike consistency. Dip and gently swirl the apples into the caramel and place on the prepared baking sheet. Let cool completely.
Decorating: Dip apples in melted nonpareils. Or roll caramel-covered apples in pumpkin seeds or chopped roasted nuts, or drizzle with melted chocolate.
Ribbon handles: Wrap colored ribbon or raffia around wooden candy apple sticks and tie in a bow. Use two colors to create a striped effect. Secure with glue at the blunt end that won't be inserted into the apple.

I found these candy corn sugar cookies on the same Country Living website. They're just orange colored sugar cookies with the back dipped in chocolate almond bark or dark chocolate candy melts and the front in almond bark. Love these!
