Happy Halloween! Weather's been a bit nuts here in New England, rain, heavy winds. We were without power for quite a while on Monday, and I had to toss most of my treat plans out the window. Luckily, these Ultimate Oreo Caramel Apples come together in no time at all, and in a pinch, you can melt the caramels and chocolate on a gas grill.
I bought the caramel bits this year, so much easier than having to unwrap and melt the bigger chunks. I had semi-sweet chocolate on hand, so that's what I used. I also threw in some Halloween sprinkles to add a little more color. Caramel and chocolate are two of my favorite flavors, and these didn't disappoint! Thank you so much to Jennifer G for sharing her recipe!
Ultimate Oreo Caramel Apples
Ingredients
- 6 popsicle or lollipop sticks
- 6 small Honeycrisp apples
- 14oz caramels
- 2 Tablespoons milk
- 20 Oreo cookies, crushed
- 10oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 Tablespoons shortening
Instructions
- Insert pop sticks into tops of apples. Place caramels and milk in a small saucepan; heat and stir over medium-low heat 3-5 minutes or until smooth, stirring frequently.
- Dip apples in caramel mixture, coating completely. Place on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet; let stand until set, about 10 minutes.
- Place crushed cookies in a shallow bowl. In top of a double boiler or a metal bowl over hot water, melt chocolate chips and shortening; stir until smooth.
- Dip apples in chocolate mixture, allowing excess to drip off; dip in cookies, rolling to coat.
- Return to baking sheet; refrigerate until set, about 15 minutes. Cut into wedges to serve.
