Apple Pie Caramel Apples

These bad boys taste a lot like the ones at Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory so I decided I must share. Here is the what you will need......

5 Granny Smith Apples

1 Bag Kraft Caramel's

2 TBSP. water

1 bag white chocolate chips

3/4 TBSP. oil

Sugar and Cinnamon

Wash apples and remove stems. Allow to dry completely. Insert Popsicle sticks (these come with the caramel's) into the top of the apple. Melt all caramel's with water in a sauce pan on low heat stirring constantly. Heavily butter a cookie sheet to place caramel apples on. When caramel is completely melted you are ready to dip. I like to tip the sauce pan to one side and Roll the apples in it. You won't be able to get the top so you can just spoon the caramel onto the top half. Allow excess caramel to drip back into pan and then scrape the bottom of the apple so it will sit flat. Allow apples to cool in fridge for about 20 minutes.

While cooling mix a small amount of cinnamon and sugar together for sprinkling. When the caramel has hardened remove apples from fridge. Place about half of the bag of chips in microwave safe bowl and melt in microwave. I do about 20 seconds at a time stirring in between so that they don't burn. Remove melted chocolate from microwave and add oil to make it a little easier to use. Spoon chocolate onto apples covering with a thin layer of white chocolate. Next sprinkle cinnamon/sugar mixture all over the outside of the apple. Put apples back onto cookie sheet and let chill until chocolate has hardened. Remove from fridge and let sit for about 20 minutes before serving. This is Ian's new favorite dessert.

San Fran Trip.......

Well we had a great time in Cali but were happy to get back to Lilly. While there we went to the wharf, China Town, Carmel, Monterrey, the Raiders game and a lot of yummy restaurants. Here are a few pics from our trip.

Well kids..........

We are off to San Fran for a long weekend away. We are planning on going to a Raiders game, shopping, and also trying not to get caught up in a some sort of Prop 8 retaliation. Catch ya on the flip side!

Halloween!!!!!

Well, our Halloween this year was pretty uneventful. We originally had plans to go to Oliver's families cabin in Morgan with Carly, Oliver, Ty and Holly. At the last minute Ian found out that he had to work Saturday so we couldn't go. We decided to go over to my parents house for dinner and then call it a night. When we got there my dad and I started getting out old Halloween costumes and trying them on. This is what we came up with................
