For Family Home Evening, I decided to do a craft-treat combo. We dipped our own caramel apples for the first time. Because we are wild and crazy, we wanted to also roll the dipped apples in a candy of the child's choice. The choices were crushed oreo's, milk chocolate toffee bits, nuts, and M&Ms. It was a little tricky, a little sticky, and we did have one trauma--Evan burned his hand on the pan as he was trying to accumulate the most caramel possible by getting the apple into the corner. The results were worth it. I had lots of disappointed kids who had to go to bed before eating their works of art, but it was getting too late. So, we pulled the apples out for their after-school treat. Yum!
