• The night before, wash apples, remove any stickers, and place them in a bowl in the refrigerator to get cold.
  5-7 small to medium apples
• Line a tray with waxed paper, spray with cooking spray. Place a stick in each apple and place them on the tray.
• Unwrap caramels and fill a 2-cup measuring cup 3/4 full. Add 1 tablespoon of water and microwave at one-minute intervals, stirring after each, until fully melted - about two minutes.
  14 ounce bag Kraft caramels
• Dip each apple into the caramel and hold it over the bowl for a moment to allow excess to drip off. Return to greased wax paper-lined tray and refrigerate for at least thirty minutes.
• Fill a 2-cup measuring cup 3/4 full with chocolate chips. Microwave at 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until fully melted - about two minutes.
  12 ounce bag of dark or milk chocolate chips
• Pour toppings into several cereal bowls and place them on the table with melted chocolate. Get apples from the fridge and dip them, one at a time, into the chocolate - allowing excess to drip off - and then roll them in desired sprinkles. Return to tray and refrigerate until chocolate is hardened.
  1 cup sprinkles, chopped nuts or crushed cookies

Once these are hardened fully, you can wrap them in plastic for gift giving! If you are going to keep them for more than a few hours, I recommend storing them in the fridge.
