1. Microwave caramels and water in deep microwaveable bowl on HIGH for 2 to 3 minutes or until caramels are melted and mixture is smooth, stirring every minute.

2. Dip apples into hot caramel mixture; turn to evenly coat. Scrape excess caramel from bottom of apple.

3. Refrigerate coated apples to set caramel. Then, generously drizzle with melted chocolate using a spoon. Let stand on lightly greased or waxed-lined paper tray until chocolate is firm.

Quick Tips

• Having trouble unwrapping caramels? Place them in the freezer for 20 minutes, and plastic wrapping will easily peel off. Let the kids help and be sure to unwrap a few extras for snacking.
• If caramel hardens during dipping process, simply put it back in the microwave and heat for a few seconds.
• Have the kids autograph their apple sticks so they'll recognize their creation when it's ready to eat.
