Candy Corn Caramel Apples

This is a fun activity to do for a classroom party! Prep work will be key to successfully execution, but the kids will LOVE it! You will need:

• Granny Smith apples (1 per guest at least)
• Popsicle sticks for each apple
• caramel squares to melt for amount of apples (see package recommendations)
• 2-3 large bags of candy corn
• medium to large size crock pot
• nonstick spray
• wax paper
• quart size Ziploc

Prep to do before arriving at classroom party:

1. Wash apples and remove stems.
2. Stick Popsicle sticks into bottoms of apples.
3. Spray nonstick spray all over inside of crock pot.
4. Begin to melt caramel squares in crock pot on low.
5. Pour candy corn in to medium bowl.
6. Pack it up in the car and head to the classroom party!

Once at school:

1. Making this activity a "center" or "station" keeps the mess to a minimum. So set up  where there is room for crock pot, candy corn bowl, and a place for the "hardening process".
2. Have each kiddo dip their apple into  crock pot covering apple as best they can.
3. Next each kiddo should gently dip the bottom of their apple into the candy corn bowl.
4. Have kiddos place decorated apples on wax paper in your "hardening area".

5. Let them take them home at the end of the day in a quart size Ziploc!

I assure you the kids have probably not made their very own caramel apples before. What a fun experience for them!
