Christmas Treats

I decided to make caramel and chocolate dipped pretzles and apples to give to Rae and Danny's families. It was very quick and I had a lot of fun doing it. First i dipped them in the caramel, which you have to unwrap 50 individual squares of caramels....A little time consuming... You have to wait for the caramel to cool so that more will stick to what you are dipping, if you do it right when it has reached the liquid consistancy it will all slide off and you will be sad when you bite into that pretzle or apple. Once those harden you put on the chocolate. I found that the candy making chocolate did well, but i prefer the chocolate that you put into a chocolate fountain. You must wait until the chocolate has cooled other wise it will melt the caramel and make it gooey. There are many different things you can put on top, white chocolate, an assortmment of candies, toffee... I chose the white chocolate and just drizzled it with a fork, agian the cooling rule apples.
