Candy or Caramel?

Question

I want me and my girls to get out of the same routine cooking making and candy making this year. We of course will still do the cookies like always but I want to throw something new in this year! We want to make candy apples but don't know how to or what ingredients we need. Which ones are easier to make?

Answer 1

I think caramel apples are easier. these are really easy to make and taste really good

1 cup finely chopped salted peanuts
1/2 cup LAND O LAKES® Butter
2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
Dash salt
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
10 tart apples, washed, dried

1. Place peanuts in small bowl. Set aside.
2. Melt butter in 2-quart saucepan; add brown sugar, corn syrup and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture comes to a full boil (10 to 12 minutes). Stir in sweetened condensed milk. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until small amount of mixture dropped into ice water forms a firm ball or candy thermometer reaches 245°F (20 to 25 minutes). Remove from heat; stir in vanilla.
3. Dip apples into caramel mixture. Dip 1 end of each apple into peanuts. Place onto buttered waxed paper.

Makes 10 apples.
