Snickers Inspired Caramel Apple Recipe

 

Forget traditional simple caramel covered apples and candied apples this fall. This gourmet caramel apple is inspired by one of the most popular candy bars on the shelves: Snickers.  Crisp and tart golden delicious apple meets sweet caramel, rich chocolate, and salty peanuts in a delicious treat that takes tradition up a few notches.  

These tasty homemade caramel apples are wonderful wrapped up and passed out to neighbors, teachers, friends, and family for a sweet fall treat. After wrapping them in plastic, just add a small handmade tag.

Snickers-Inspired Caramel Apples Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 6 apples
  • 1-14 ounce package caramels, unwrapped
  • 1-11.5 ounce package chocolate chips
  • peanuts
  • wooden skewers
  • paper straws

 

Ingredients for Snickers Inspired Caramel Apple

 

Directions:

Crush peanuts in a processor or in a sealable plastic baggy. Set aside.

Lay the wax or parchment paper flat on the counter to dry your apples on.

Wash apples very well to remove wax and any other residue that may be on them, dry thoroughly with a clean cloth.

Remove stems, cut skewers in half or thirds and push a skewer into the center of apple about 3″ into the core.

Place caramels in a pan over medium heat and melt according to package directions- for me this was to add 2 Tbsp. of water to caramels and stir constantly while melting.

Dip apple into the caramel, use a spoon to help cover apple well.

Coat apple in caramel

Place apples upright on waxed paper to set.

Let the caramel set

While caramel is setting up place chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and melt in 20-30 second increments, stirring between each cycle until smooth and completely melted. Dip caramel apples in chocolate, using a spoon or spatula as necessary to cover apple about 3/4 of the way up.

Coat apple in Chocolate

Immediately after coating in the chocolate roll in peanuts to coat, and return to wax paper, allow the chocolate to harden.

Then roll caramel apple in chopped peanuts

These yummy Snickers-inspired caramel apples are the perfect fall treat!

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
