These caramel apples are wonderful fall treats!

48 caramels (one 14-ounce package)
2 tablespoons water or milk
6 to 8 wooden craft sticks or skewers (1 per apple)

Optional:
1-1/2 cups chopped nuts (peanuts, walnuts or pecans)
1 cup miniature chocolate chips

How to make this recipe:
Wash and dry the apples, and skewer. Set aside nearby. Prepare a baking sheet, covered with waxed paper. (If the caramel begins to harden, microwave mixture for 15-30 seconds then stir well.)

Place caramels and water or milk in a large, microwave-safe bowl. Cook on high for 2 minutes; stirring after each minute. Cook on high at additional 20-30 second intervals, stirring until smooth and of dipping consistency.

Immediately dip the apples in the melted caramel and twist to coat evenly. Roll apples in chopped nuts or chocolate chips if desired.
