Good morning! Another day off of school for me!
I had mentioned that I would be making caramel apples this weekend. I met Makenna through a mentorship program for student athletes a few years ago and now we are really close, and I am actually finding refuge with her family during Sandy’s super storm. We made them Saturday night, and I definitely had my fair share of sugary goodness 
Here’s the process!
First, we melted the caramel and put the sticks in the apples. We found a recipe that said to put marshmallows in the caramel, which actually helped the caramel stick to the apples. Last year the caramel ran off of the apples, which made it less sugary and healthier! I totally liked the addition of mallows!
It was a little sticky
We decorated with chocolate and sprinkles…
…and Brady busted out some pretzels!
Delicious
I think caramel apples are one of my favorite parts of fall!
What’s you favorite part of fall?
Omg, yum! I haven’t had a caramel apple in forever!
Sooo tasty!
Aw, that looks like a lot of fun. So nice that you have a pseudo “family” out there, too!
I know they are such a big help to me, and they make my mom feel more secure too!
How fun! Those apples look delicious!!
They definitely were
Aww that looks so cute and fun! And yummy!
Totally delicious. I ate way more than my fair share of chocolate and caramel…and a little apple, too!
Love this! (send me some) Can’t believe you guys have another day off from school. How is the weather down there?
I wish I could send you some! Still just rainy here…though places about 5 minutes from Ship have no power still…
I love caramel apples too, but have never made them before because they do look messy. Your caramel apples turned out great!
They were well worth the mess
Oh yum!! It’s been way too long since I’ve had one. It looks like so much fun!
I bet the girls would love it! It’s kind of healthy, right?
gosh I haven’t made caramel apples in ages, drool!
So delicious and perfect to have fun with the kiddos!!
What a fun night! I can’t remember the last time I had a caramel apple.
So tasty! Yummm
Pretzels sound AWESOME on a caramel apple! YUM!
Considering pretzels are my favorite food ever, it was totally awesome!
Oh my gosh these look amazing!! delicious!
I just read your comment on my blog…
you need to tell me what’s up with your ankle?!
I hope you’re having a great Tuesday!
xoxo!
I have a light sprain…just enough that it’s uncomfortable but the bruising has gone away and it’s not really swollen! Just so annoying!!! I’m supposed to go to PT but don’t really have the time…any suggestions?!!?!?!
I have a lot of suggestions!
…put heat on your ankle when you wake up in the morning. Before bed: write the ABC’s with your foot (point your big toe up in the air and move it around using your ankle) do 3×10 heel raises (flex your calf and come up on your toes) and ICE for 10-min, take a couple ibuprofen and drink tons of water!
xoxo!
You’re the best! I will be trying that today
Look like an amazing afternoon!
It definitely was
I really want one of those now! Yum!
My favorite part of fall is cooler running weather and pumpkin spice lattes
I totally wish I could run right now
The weather is so great for sweating it up!
They look delicious!
They definitely are!
How fun! Looks like you guys had a great time making these.
yum.yum. yum. Ive never made them,, but this might be a good activity for me and andrew!
