Mini-Carmel Apples

Bite-size versions of the fall fair treat, these tiny "caramel" apples are a great party snack - or anytime

your kids want a special treat.

4-inch lollipop sticks

Mellon baller

Granny Smith apples (1 apple makes about 8 mini-apples

Butterscotch or peanut butter chips

Chopped nuts, nonpareils, sprinkles, shredded coconut (optional)

Small paper candy cups

First, cut lollipop sticks in half at an angle (the pointy end will go into the apple pieces easier). With the melon baller, scoop little balls out of the apple. Note:  Each ball should have a section of apple peel. Push lollipop through apple peel and halfway through apple "ball."  Pat the apples pieces dry.

 

Melt the chips according to directions. Dip and swirl the mini apples in the melted chips then roll the apples in nuts, sprinkles, nonpareils, or coconut, if desired. Place the mini apples in paper candy cups to set.
