Chocoley's Top-8
Caramel Chocolate Apple Countdown

By Steve Leffer, Chocoholic & Chief Taster

 

This year's gourmet apples are inspired by the finest caramel and chocolate apples on the market.

If you're anything like me, when the temperatures start to cool and fall is in the air one thing comes to mind: delicious caramel chocolate apples!

With prices hitting $20 (or more!) for a single apple, you'd think that gourmet chocolate and caramel apples are close to impossible to make at home yourself. But they're not! It's actually quite easy to make incredible apples (even the ones that are breaking records with their prices at the store down the street).

That's why I've gotten together with my panel of experts (um, okay, it was actually my wife and daughter) to create a countdown of the most delectable and mouthwatering caramel chocolate apple recipes that are guaranteed to make you drool.

All of this year's gourmet apples are inspired by the finest caramel and chocolate apples on the market. We've made all of them in the Chocoley test kitchen and can promise that they're all simple to make, taste incredible, and make great gifts (if you're not too tempted to eat them before you give them away that is!).

I hope you enjoy this year's countdown (below) as much as my family has enjoyed eating the apples to make sure they are good enough for you!
