"These are great for Halloween parties and birthdays also no caramels to unwrap for these there easy and fun to make and the best caramel apples, you can roll the caramel apples in mini M&M's, nuts, chocolate, cereal or just about anything just make certain to roll while the caramel is still soft on the apples, I made these often when my son was growing up especially around Halloween time. IMPORTANT! make sure to dry the apples off completely with a clean towel or paper towels before coating in the caramel.
