Carmel Apples

On Friday we decided to do something so exciting, so adventurous, so crazy, so frugal, so delicious- that I HAD to blog about it. That's right, we made delicious homemade carmel apples.
The thought occurred us as we were looking on the internet for something to go and see in Davenport, that didn't cost very much money. We came across a sight for a company that makes carmel apples, but they were charging $10 a piece!! Ridiculous!! So, seeing as we had most of what we needed in our cupboards we decided to make our own.
We took yummy Granny Smith Apples-(okay so some of them don't look so yummy, but they really were...its just a bad picture...and Emma took a bite out of one before I could stop her, so that's why :D )
A hunky looking man making the Oh-SO-good carmel. YUM-twice ;)
And the toppings (we splurged for a cookies'n'cream candy bar and a snickers)
Then, when the carmel was still warm, we rolled our apples in it.


And wa-la! Carmel apples! But wait, there's more!
"Fully Loaded" carmel apples!!
The kids were a wee bit excited...can you tell? :)
Even this kid
but thats because this kid was doing this
but he was really excited anyways
and so was she
except by the time we were done it was 10:00,
so this kid was a little bit tired, and doing this a lot.
But the carmel apples turned out AWESOME!!
