Tasty Apple Mickey Ears

INGREDIENTS

four large Granny Smith apples, washed and dried
one (fourteen-ounce) bag caramels
two to three tablespoons water
eight large marshmallows
two cups melted milk chocolate
two cups melted white chocolate
eight yellow jelly beans
two cups red sugar sprinkles

DIRECTIONS

Eliminate the stems from the apples and wash very well to remove any excess wax. Press popsicle sticks into each apple until secure.

In a pot, mix the caramels and water. Blend over medium-low heat until smooth. Drop the apples into the caramel until well covered.

Using scissors, cut off the edge of the marshmallows to create the ears. While the caramel is still warm, put two marshmallows to the top of each apple to create the iconic mouse ears. Put the caramel-covered apples on a sheet tray and allow them to set in the refrigerator. Use the scissors to trim off any excess caramel.

Next, carefully soak the apple into the milk chocolate till fully covered. Set aside till hardened.

Soak the bottom half of each apple into the white chocolate. Put two jelly beans in the middle of the white chocolate half. Cover the white chocolate with the red sugar sprinkles. Allow all the layers to dry well before eating. Enjoy each magical bite!
