It’s Caramel Apple Season…
What better way to embrace the cool autumn air than with a homemade caramel apple? For merely five dollars you can make fresh caramel apples coated with your favorite candies or nuts. Why buy prepackaged treats at the store when you can easily prepare your very own scrumptious snack for a fraction of the price. See this as a socially acceptable way to play with your food, for by the end of your cooking session you will have sweet caramel-covered fingers. I challenge you to plan a day next week where a much needed study break will surely creep up. When this moment appears, scurry over to Kroger or Walmart, and before you know it you will be indulging in a satisfying self-made treat. For those of you living with a sad excuse for a kitchen, I must tell you that all you need for this recipe is a microwave and a bowl. Go forth and eat!
