Caramel Dip

As many of you know I love to bake and try out new recipes, I had a craving for caramel dip and apples and decided to give it a try. I did a little searching on the internet and found a great recipe at Taste of Home.

Caramel Dip

Ingredients:

14 ounces wrapped caramels
2 Cups mini marshmallows or 20 large marshmallows
1/2 Cup butter, melted
1/3 Cup heavy whipping cream
Lemon Juice or Fruit Fresh (found in the canning aisle)
Your favorite Apples

Directions:

1. Place caramels in a microwave safe dish and microwave uncovered for 1 minute (20 seconds at a time and stir in between, they'll burn).

2. Add marshmallows and microwave 20 seconds at a time and stir in between until marshmallows are melted.

3. Add melted butter and heavy cream and whisk until combined, set aside.

4. Slice apples and coat in lemon juice or fruit fresh to keep the apples from turning brown.

5. Serve caramel dip warm or cold with sliced apples. Also delicious with ice cream and is perfect for making caramel apple cider.

Yield: 2 1/2 Cups

Note: Store caramel dip in the fridge. To reheat pour caramel in a microwave safe dish and microwave for 20 seconds at a time until it is a smooth consistency.

I really enjoyed this recipe, it's soooo good. It didn't have a lot of ingredients and it was really easy to make. Just be super careful when stirring the caramel and marshmallows together, it gets REALLY hot. Now to figure out how to make this with less sugar, I'll let you know what I find.
