Fall Bucket List--carmel apples & Halloween

We tried to make carmel apples for the Halloween party at the Lambert's.  The carmel turned out great; hard not to with so much butter and sugar :)  But it turns out getting carmel to stick on apples is quite a challenge.  We ended up opting to cut up the apples and serve the carmel as a dipping sauce in the end.

ahhh...butter, sugar, and sweetened milk...

the corn holders worked great for dipping, but more carmel ended up on the wax paper than on the apples :/

The final product was not as expected but tasted great!  We had a great time celebrating Halloween, both at the Lambert's then at Holy Names.

Halloween at HNA is big!  Everyone dresses up!  Here is our group at the Pemco Northwest Profiles
