The Secret To Making The Best And Easiest Caramel Apples

Making caramel isn't easy, and without a candy thermometer, it's impossible. In the case of caramel apples, we opt for a less challenging route—with caramel candies! (We swear by these Kraft caramels.) One bag will get you about 4 candy apples, so stock up accordingly!

Unwrap all your candies and place them in a small saucepan. While you're at it, assemble your other ingredients too! Wash and dry your apples, stick 'em with popsicle sticks, and place your toppings on shallow plates.
