MENU OF THE MONTH

Sugar Skull Caramel Apples

What you’ll need to make sugar skull caramel apples: Granny Smith apples, washed and thoroughly dried Lollipop sticks

Package of chewy caramel candies (about a cup and a half) 1 teaspoon butter, 1 teaspoon Milk, 1 package of Wilton white candy melts, 1 package Wilton black candy melts, Assortment of Wilton colored candy melts for added decoration Sandwich bags, mixing bowls Create the caramel Add butter, milk and caramel to a saucepan, heat over on medium low heat.

” H G U O H T R “FOOD FO

Check out these sugar skull caramel apples!

For Dia de Los Muertos, the traditional sugar skull is made of sugar, water and merengue powder. It’s hardened, then decorated with Royal icing. The sugar represents the sweetness of life and the skull signifies death.

Stir consistently until caramels are completely melted and smooth.

Stick the lollipop sticks into the tops of the apples.

Dip apples, one-by-one into the caramel.

Place on a baking sheet covered in wax paper.

Place the baking sheet into the fridge for 30 minutes to an hour to allow the caramel to set.

While the caramel is setting, melt your candy melts in the microwave.

Place a handful of melts in a microwave-safe bowl and heat on high for 30-second increments. Stir in between until creamy and melted. Add a small amount of vegetable oil helps the candy to look really shiny when dried. And it makes the candy easier to work with.

Melt an entire bag of white candy melts in a bowl or dish, large enough for you to dip the entire apple.

The other colors can really be melted in smaller bowls.

Create the skull!

Once the caramel is set, dip the apples into white candy melts. Place back onto the backing sheet and back into the fridge for the candy to harden (about 5-10 minutes).

While those are hardening in the fridge, melt the other colors.

To decorate the face of my sugar skull apples, I poured the colored melted candies into plastic sandwich bags. Then I snipped off a corner.

Then simply pipe on eyes, teeth and a nose with black candy melts and some fun decorations around the eyes and forehead with various colors.

Pop your sugar skull apples back onto the fridge for 30 minutes, then your sugar skull caramel apples are ready to enjoy!

Tip: The candy melts on your apples will absorb the flavor of any items placed next to them while in the fridge for extended amounts of time (for instance if you make the apples a day ahead) so be sure to place the apples away from any food that could alter the flavor (like onions or garlic).

I hope you enjoy making these sugar skull caramel apples and I hope you most of all enjoy eating them……

COMING UP THIS DECEMBER The Alternate Metaverse Grid will be 3 YEARS OLD at the beginning of December, and the Owners Cataplexia & Cliff would love to invite you and your Friends over to AMV to celebrate it from the 2nd December until the 5th December 2022.
