CARMEL APPLE BARS

Now that fall is here and Halloween is getting closer it is time to start making the traditional fall apple recipes. This one here is great for having the kids and grandchildren to help with. I use to make caramel apples all the time...hmmmm....maybe I will have to make us some of these. :)

Ingredients:

• Caramels
• Granny Smith Apples
• Marshmallows
• Mini M&M's
• Mini Chocolate Chips
• Reeses pieces
• Candy corn
• Toothpicks
• Sprinkles
• Any other desired toppings

Instructions:

1. Pour each topping into a separate bowl.

2. Core and slice the apples.

3. Push a toothpick into one o the ends of the sliced apples.

4. Melt the caramels in a separate bowl.

5. Holding the toothpick, dip each sliced apple into the melted caramel. The hotter the caramel, the better it sticks to the apples.

6. Immediately dip the apple with hot caramel on it into the desired topping.

7. Let cool and enjoy. 

Hey these look pretty good. I especially like the one's topped with the chocolate!! :) Hope you have fun making these with the kids and grandkids!

Have a great week! :)

Finished UFO'S !!

Well it took me awhile (like four years!), but I finally finished a couple of fall UFO's!! It was actually nice to have some time to just do some quilts in between getting ready for the Christmas shows. :)

The other day I was going through the sewing closet re-organizing and found this unfinished wall hanging so I told myself...self....you need to get this done!

I had the shutters and windows done for years so at least I didn't have to do those. I just needed to pick out fabric for the pumpkins, leaves, window box and house. Luckily I had the scrap fabric to do this. 

After I finished that one I remember I started this small one a few years ago so I "dug" it out too and finished it.

I had to cut out all the little leaf parts which I hadn't made those types of leaves for years so it was learning all over again! All those little ti-nee wienie squares were horrible! Now I know why this "A" brain perfectionist here does applique most of the time!!  

I think it turned out pretty nice with all the fall colors.

So, I think that is all the fall I will be doing. I made a few of the coiled baskets I have started to make for the local fall shows I am doing. I really need to get started on Christmas stuff. YIKES!!!  Falling behind already!! :)

Have a great week and happy sewing! :)
