Pumpkin Patch Candy Corn and Caramel Apple Board
Equipment
- Microwave-safe bowl
- Parchment paper
- Serving board
Ingredients
- 4 small apples
- 1 (14 oz) bag caramels, unwrapped
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2 cups candy corn
- 1 cup candy pumpkins
- 1/2 cup chocolate-covered raisins
- 8 pretzel sticks
Instructions
- Wash and dry the apples thoroughly so the caramel sticks well.
- Unwrap the caramels and place them in a microwave-safe bowl with the milk.
- Microwave the caramel mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
- Insert one pretzel stick into the top of each apple to act as a stem.
- Dip each apple into the melted caramel, turning to coat evenly, then let excess drip off.
- Place the coated apples on a parchment-lined tray to set for a few minutes.
- Arrange the apples on a serving board with space between them.
- Fill the gaps with piles of candy corn, candy pumpkins, and chocolate-covered raisins to create the pumpkin patch look.
Notes
Use room-temperature apples so the caramel sets without sliding off. If the caramel thickens while dipping, warm it briefly to loosen it again. The chocolate-covered raisins add a nice contrast to the bright candy corn colors.
