Carmel Disaster


I know most people have the fabulous looking pictures to post of their super yummy carmel apples. Not me. I got all excited to make carmel apples this week, but something went horribly wrong. Not sure exactly what happened, but not only were these apples slightly hideous. They were also nearly impossible to eat. We tried to give our jaws a workout on one, and then after Henry dropped one on the floor and the carmel actually shattered, like glass. We gave up the pretense that these edible and chucked them... not at any windows or breakable object, but in the trash. Not really sure what went wrong... maybe I was in too big of a hurry and heated the carmel to fast. That is just one theory though. Who knows?

I know this won't bring comfort, but I laughed out loud reading this. At least you tried to make them...I on the other hand only think of the nightmare of my childhood with braces...and eating a carmel apple...

my children haven't asked...so I haven't suggested that we make them. Cookies anyone?

Oh man that's too bad!! I was just thinking of trying to make some of those the other day. Someone posted about making an apple pie caramel apple...sounded kind of good. But if someone is going to mess up in the kitchen it's going to be me...so maybe not. Thanks for posting! Loved the update on Wyatt. Miss you guys.
