DIY Caramel Apple Bar: Make This Fun Dessert Bar for Halloween Night Desserts Fruit

Get creative with those apples! We set up a make-your-own-caramel-apple-bar for my son's play date and the kids loved it. It was not hard. I repeat: not hard. Very easy, in fact. Why not make some for Halloween night?

Ingredients

• apples
• caramel sauce
• toppings: mini M&Ms, fall sprinkles, chopped nuts, mini chocolate chips, crushed Oreo cookies, mini marshmallows

Here's how to do it:

• Slice up different color apples. We used a combination of Honeycrisp and Granny Smith apples.

• I inserted candy sticks that I bought from a craft store into each apple section (my son loves to eat food on a stick).

• Melt store-bought caramel sauce in the microwave in 10 second increments until it's soft and gooey.

• Put out a variety of your kids' favorite toppings in a muffin tin (so there's only one pan for cleanup). We used mini M&Ms, fall sprinkles, chopped nuts, mini chocolate chips, crushed Oreo cookies and mini marshmallows.

• Let kids (and adults!) dip their apple slices into the caramel and then into their favorite toppings.

My daughter thought it would be more fun to make a caramel apple sundae, so she ditched the sticks, piled her apples in a bowl and loaded up the toppings.
