Who doesn’t love a caramel apple? The sweet gooey caramel combines with the tart Granny Smith apple to create a flavor that is truly irresistible. But, did you know that you can easily make caramel apples taste even better? Here are eight ways to take that average caramel apple and make it truly gourmet.
Gourmet Caramel Apples #1: The Turtle
What’s better than your favorite treats? How about combining those treats into one delicious concoction? This gourmet caramel apple combines the flavor of a caramel apple with turtle candy. Simple dip your caramel apple in crushed pecans and then dip it in melted milk chocolate.
Gourmet Caramel Apples #2: Cookies and Cream
Cookies and cream may be a fantastic ice cream flavor, but it also makes a delicious gourmet caramel apple. Just dip your caramel apple into melted white chocolate and then roll it in crushed Oreos. Talk about a gourmet treat.
Gourmet Caramel Apples #3: The White Wedding
I call this The White Wedding not only because this would look truly wonderful on a wedding buffet, but I also love Billy Idol songs. Take your caramel apple and dip it into melted white chocolate and then roll it in mini white chocolate chips and shredded coconut.
Gourmet Caramel Apples #4: Milk Chocolate Madness
Another gourmet caramel apple that you’ll just love is the Milk Chocolate Madness. Just dip your apple in melted milk chocolate and then roll it in a mixture of mini milk chocolate chips and chopped up milk chocolate Dove bars.
Gourmet Caramel Apples #5: Candy Bar Lovers Dream
You’ll never look at a caramel apple the same way after eating this gourmet version. The first thing you need to do is chop up several of your favorite kinds of candy bars. I suggest selecting at least three or four different kinds. Then dip your apple in your favorite type of melted chocolate and then roll it in the chopped up candy bars.
Gourmet Caramel Apples #6: The Sweet and Salty
Sweet and salty is always a perfect combination, especially when it’s on a gourmet caramel apple. For this version all you need is your favorite type of roasted nuts. Coarsely chop the nuts and then roll your apple in them.
Gourmet Caramel Apples #7: Worms and Dirt
This gourmet version is more for the kids than the adults, though it would make the perfect treat for an adult Halloween party. Roll your apple in crushed Oreos and then stick on several gummy worms. This version is both gourmet and fun.
Gourmet Caramel Apples #8: Chocolate Overload
Last, but not least, is a version that is sure to cure your PMS blues. Just dip the caramel apple in white, then milk, and last dark chocolate. You will have to wait in between each dip so that the chocolate hardens. After applying the last layer of chocolate, immediately roll the apple in your favorite chocolate candies such as M&Ms;, Reese’s Cups, Milky Ways, or all of the above.
