Oh sure, I could show you beautiful leaves, colorful fall scenes, flocks of birds gathering to fly south or any number of other things fall. But the thing that signifies fall is truly here at our house is this:
Andy loves caramel apples and I usually make them for him every fall. These are dipped in melted caramel, then stuck in big chunks of walnuts...I never use peanuts... then they have melted milk chocolate drizzled all over them...just sort of slapped on if it won't drizzle, as was the case last night when I made these.
Most people go face first into their caramel apple. We prefer to cut them off the stick and eat them with a fork a piece at a time. It's much neater but definitely not as much fun!
Dead Like Elvis
Did you know that Elvis Presley earned $52 million dollars this year? He's the top of the dead celebrity earnings list and he didn't lift a finger! (Okay, that was a bad one!!) Others on the list include Marvin Gaye, Albert Einstein, Marilyn Monroe, Charles Schultz, Heath Leger and Paul Newman.
I used to eat caramel apples every fall, but I've resisted the urge this year.
ReplyDeleteCaramel apples are one of my many favorite things to eat!! I always get one at our County Fair...but I didn't make it there this year :( and I feel like something is missing! lol
ReplyDeleteYours look especially tasty...must be the chocolate and walnuts....more of my favs
Num-eee! I've always wanted to try and make caramel apples, but never have. I suppose the rest of them are for your co-workers? (The lucky stiffs!)
ReplyDeleteI think I just gained weight reading this. Yum.
ReplyDeleteWhoa! Those babies look serious! (and, of course, good for you because of the apples!)
ReplyDeleteFall is here, too. They're calling for snow showers tonight and tomorrow morning. It's extremely windy. The deer have been grazing all hours of the day and night (never a good sign) and are out there as I type this. When I got to chase them, they just look at me. One gestured rudely....
*mooooooan* face first is exactly what I would do if I could be there with those babies.
ReplyDeleteIf it would get me a taste, I would lick the screen!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, that looks like heaven...
ReplyDeleteI adore caramel apples...
XOXO
