Halloween Monster Caramel Apples These Halloween Monster Caramel Apples are fun to make and too much fun to eat! This post contains affiliate links. Last week at our women’s church craft night I did a caramel apple dipping demonstration. You can find all my top tips in a post I did a few years ago. I had some leftover apples and caramel so I decided to make some fun Halloween Monster Caramel Apples for a few of my favorite little goblins! I had made my once a season stop at Krispy Kreme to get my pumpkin spice old fashioned donut and noticed the cute Halloween monster donuts they had. I decided they would make cute Caramel Apples too. So using my best caramel apple dipping tips I made some cute Halloween Monsters! I used Granny Smith apples and my favorite Peter’s Caramel. It is the best!! I have found the best way to melt it is in the slow cooker. In addition to apples and caramels you will want some sticks. These are the kind I like the best because they are nice and sturdy and will hold the apple up. For photographic purposes I used some fun Halloween straws I have but they aren’t strong enough for dipping the apples in the caramel and chocolate. I used the sticks to dip and then removed them and put in the straws for the picture. For the colored candy coating I used Wilton Melts which I love! I keep a stash of all the colors on hand. For the facial expressions I used royal icing, it sets up nice and hard. You can buy meringue powder and just add water to it or you can make your own from scratch using this recipe. It’s easy! For the eyes I purchased Googly Eyes because I was a bit short on time but you can totally make your own using the royal icing. I show you how to make your own edible googly eyes here. Just use some of the royal icing to glue the eyes to the apple. The kids will have as much fun making them as eating them! I prefer to use an apple slicer to slice my caramel apple up before eating!
