Do you ever make caramel apples? They’re easy and DEE-LI-CIOUS! Why not add some sprinkles to make it even more fun?!

For 6 Festive caramel apples…. (we go heavy on the caramel coating, you can
do one bag if you’d rather)

  a.. Wash and dry apples, plunge sticks into their tops ( these do come
with the caramels usually, if you buy them pre-bagged)
  b.. 2 bags of caramels unwrapped and dumped into a microwave safe bowl
with 2 tablespoons of H2O
  c.. Put caramels in the micro for about 2 minutes, stir every 30 seconds
or so….just be sure it’s nice and liquidy
  d.. Roll apples around and at the same time using a spoon to pour caramel
on top…..
  e.. quickly decorate to your heart’s desire…candy worms, M&M’s,
sprinkles…..
  f.. Set them on a buttered cookie sheet or buttered wax paper
Put into refrigerator for a few hours…take out at least a half hour before eating!!

We usually allow 2 weeks for you to contact us and we give a *warning* post when there’s only a few days left…so always remember to check back!

Okay, Cupcakes–you may need to ask a mom or dad (or MAYBE you have visited before) BUT what National Park did the Cupcake webmaster visit on Fall break?

First one to guess correctly wins 4 cupcake cutie lip glosses!

* a hint–it’s in the western United States

You can WIN one of these LIMITED Tee shirts by leaving a comment (one comment per Cupcake, please!)

A Day in the Life of A Cupcake custom silkscreened on  Old Navy basic white tee shirt (junior sizes). We added a tee underneath for the photo shoot- but it’s not included.
