sticky sweet

So I somehow *volunteered* to make caramel apples for Grace's Apple Tasting Party today at preschool. Problem is, I had never made caramel apples before (Why in the world do I volunteer to bring stuff I've never made before??? Hmmm...will have to remember that for the Bake Sale!) So last night about 10 pm I set off on my quest to make a preschool worthy snack.

How hard could it be, right? Just melt, dip, sprinkle, set. Or so I thought. Little did I know that you have to sprinkle/coat SUPER FAST and then.................the apples have to set for like 1 1/2 hours in the refrigerator. WHAAAAAT????

Needless to say, it was a LOooooOooOOong night! But I think they turned out cute anyway...in a lopsided, kid-made-them kind of way :)

Whatcha think?
{sorry for the grainy pictures...there just isn't good lighting at 1am, you know?!} I made the cute little tags using a free printable from Bird Crafts via Skip to My Lou. Check it out HERE! They were fun to make (and tasted yummy!) so I'm sure I'll be making these again for halloween. The little pumpkin was soooooo excited to take them to school and as soon as we walked in her room she said, "Look what WE made!!!!" he he he Now...if only Hudson would take a good nap so I could catch a few zzzzz's...it's going to be a busy weekend...Circus tonight...Hudson's baptism tomorrow!
HaPPy FaLL!
