Reese, Quincy, and I made candied caramel apples and cotton candy floats, and wore black white and red to discuss the Night Circus with fellow rêveurs at our mother-daughter book club tonight. 🎪
Kasey, we needed your magic touch to help with the apples! The caramel kept sliding down the apples. We learned a few tricks for next time:
1-let the caramel cool down a lot before dipping the apples
2-place apples into the freezer right before dipping, so they are very cold and cool down the caramel faster and it sets up quickly (less chance to slide off the apple)
3-place complete caramel apple into the fridge on parchment to chill for several hours (or overnigtht) before dipping them into chocolate coating.
4-reshape the caramel that slid to the bottom back around the apple before dipping into the melted chocolate or almond bark.
5- before chocolate layer cools, roll the apples in toppings. Tonight we did crushed thin mint cookies, peanut butter chocolate wafer cookies, crusted toffee bar, and sprinkles. We talked about our favorite tents and what adjustments they would add to enhance this fun.
