So I decided to
use melted caramels drizzled on the top.
Today I am going to share a little secret: How to make caramel apples the easy way
using melted caramel candies.
Not exact matches
1 cup unsalted butter 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1/2 cup
caramel sauce (I
used Fran's because it's awesome) 4 ounces semisweet chocolate,
melted 4 - 5 cups powdered sugar
There are a few things that could cause the
caramel to be too runny: — adding water to the sugar for the caramelisation part (in this recipe, you
melt and caramelise the sugar with no water added; if you do add water, it might end up runnier), — not «caramelising» the sugar enough (but that changes the consistency by only a few percent), — not cooking the butter and caramelised sugar mixture long enough (it really needs to be a few minutes), — not
using double cream but whipping cream or something with a lower fat content, — not allowing the
caramel to set in the fridge for a few hours (the
caramel should set into a sticky layer that should be able to be cut and isn't runny).
* some bits of nougat /
caramel might
melt and stuck to the paper once cold — to avoid that, while the cookies are still warm, gently release them from the paper and reshape the cookies into a circle if the
melted bits run off and change their shape; I thought of
using foil instead of baking paper to avoid the sticking issue, but then I thought the foil would transfer more heat to the cookies and make them too flat Makes about 38 large cookies

used some leftover
caramels and
melted them and
used them for the
caramel glaze of the apple mosaic tart (that I've also made a million times), so you can say it's a dual purpose recipe for me!

use a heavy duty sauce pan to

Use a heatproof rubber spatula to incorporate
melted sugar into unmelted sugar and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until all sugar is
melted and
caramel turns a medium amber color, 6 — 8 minutes.
Once
