Ghostly Good Caramel Apples
Caramel apples are a Halloween classic, but these chewy treats feature a twist on tradition; a costume of chocolate flavored crisp rice cereal.
16 small apples (about 4 pounds) 16 wooden sticks 2 cups packed brown sugar 1 (14-ounce) can Eagle Brand® Sweetened Condensed Milk (NOT evaporated milk) 1 cup light corn syrup 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 cups chocolate-flavored crisp rice cereal
Wash and dry apples. Remove stems. Insert a wooden stick into the stem end of each apple; set aside.
In heavy 3-quart saucepan, combine brown sugar, Eagle Brand®, corn syrup and butter. Bring to boil, stirring constantly. Boil gently over medium heat, stirring frequently, 25 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla.
Line baking sheets with foil; grease foil.
Working quickly, dip each apple into the hot caramel mixture; use a spoon if necessary to spread mixture evenly over apples. Allow excess mixture to drip off. Dip bottom of apples into cereal.
Place on greased foil; let stand until firm, about 25 minutes. Store uncovered at room temperature.
