Yum, binny, that sounds good!
Another easy way to enjoy caramel apples is to make Caramel Dip--not nearly as messy, and my kids love it!!! (I also think it is way better than the store bought dip)
Take 1 lb caramels, 1 stick butter or margarine, and 1 can sweetened condensed milk. Melt together in the microwave or a double boiler. Stir well. Serve warm with apple slices. It also works well to keep it warm in a mini crock pot.
Enjoy!
