Chocolate, Caramel and Toffee Apples

Yes I am no longer MIA and I am finally back here. We all know by now that when it comes to  making dessert, the kitchen and I are simply just not friends. To be honest, I wasn't too sure if I should go ahead and post this entry because my idea kind of failed. Anyways I decided to go ahead with it so my efforts wouldn't go to waste.

So last night I had a friend's birthday where everyone had to bring a plate of dessert. I brought apples on sticks covered in either chocolate, caramel or toffee. 
Ever since I saw Chocolatesuze's toffee apple post, I've been wanting to play with toffee. I love toffee apples but I always have several dilemmas:

1. By the time you finish ALL the toffee, you can't be bothered to eat the apple and let it go to waste.
2. You struggle to even finish ALL the toffee which means you can't even get to the apple or
3. You eat part of the toffee and apple but the whole thing is so freaking big you can't finish the whole thing. 

I thought that if I cut the apples into smaller bit sized pieces, all my problems would be solved. Yeah.. no. It was so fail. I didn't realize that the acidity (and juice) would cause my toffee to melt. Boo .... =( Luckily I had a back up plan which was to coat them in either chocolate or caramel bits. 

Ingredients

So these are the things you will need. When it comes to dipping fruit in something sweet, I generally like to choose fruits that are a bit more sour to help balance out the sweetness. 

Green apples!

If you are following this recipe and you want to coat your apples in toffee, either use the whole apple or use smaller apples if the normal ones are too big. Do not cut them up. I repeat, do not cut them up. 
I used chocolatesuze's recipe to make the toffee. If you have already cut up your apples, grab either some chocolate or caramel bits and melt them in a bowl over some hot water. 

Toffee in progress

Once the toffee, chocolate or caramel is ready, dip the apples into any of the three. Once all of the sides have been coated all over, dip them into a bowl of nuts, sprinkles, chopped up dried mango or whatever you feel like! Anndddd this is what you will end up with! 

Tada!
