The magic ingredients for these bewitching apples? 
A deep crimson variety like Red Delicious, a few drops of food coloring—plus a dash of spicy cinnamon.
(Skewers: Twigs from your yard work just fine! Use a damp paper towel to wipe clean.)

Ingredients
U.S. Metric
6 (or up to 8) Red Delicious Apples
3 cup(s) Sugar
1 cup(s) Water
1/2 cup(s) Light Corn Syrup
1/2 teaspoon(s) Cinnamon-Flavored Oil
1/4 tablespoon(s) Red Food Coloring

Directions
Remove stems and skewer apples (see "Tricks for Sticks," below).
In a saucepan over high heat, with a candy thermometer attached, heat sugar, water, and light corn syrup, stirring until sugar dissolves.
Bring to a boil until mixture reaches 300 degrees F. Remove from heat, and stir in 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon-flavored oil and 1/4 tablespoon red food coloring.
To make red apples: Dip apples, one at a time, then transfer to a greased baking sheet. 
Let cool, about 10 minutes.
To make black apples: Add 1/4 tablespoon black food coloring to your red syrup. 
(If the syrup has thickened, reheat briefly.) 
Dip apples, one at a time, then transfer to a greased baking sheet. 
Let cool, about 10 minutes.

Tips & Techniques
Tricks for Sticks: First, simply twist off the stem. 
If your skewer is blunt, sharpen it using a utility knife to slice off one end at a diagonal angle. 
Then, working on a flat surface, firmly grip your apple and push the skewer two-thirds of the way in. 
If any juice leaks out, blot the fruit with a paper towel before dipping.

Apple Prep: Wash, put in stick (or cut), Boiling water, rinse, dry thoroughly.

If no sticks, then cut into 8ths. Wash in citric acid (liquid) and dip with your finger.


If you were to use just straight caramels (Brach's mix) then you'll need about 8-12 caramels per medium sized apple ... so you'll need about 80-120 caramels for a dozen apples. 
Use very low heat... recommend the microwave oven. 
Stir in 1 tbsp butter or Crisco per 40 caramels. 
If you use ready-made caramel you should choose the firm type (#102-NC30 Caramel Loaf by Nestles').

COFFEE DRINKERS....THANK ME LATER....

Homemade Coffee Creamer – Over 2 Dozen Flavor Varieties!
SHARE this to your TIMELINE so you won't lose it.

For whatever flavor of creamer you want, you start off with the same basic ‘base’ recipe.

14oz sweetened condensed milk
1 3/4 cup milk or cream (whole, lowfat, skim, almond, soy, heavy cream, half & half etc – whatever your preference, however the more fat, the more creaminess)

Mix the ingredients together well. Add them to a mason jar and shake it like crazy or you could also opt to use an old (washed) creamer container.

French Vanilla Creamer
2 teaspoons vanilla extract OR vanilla coffee syrup

Vanilla Bean Coffee Creamer
2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste

Chocolate
2-3 tablespoons chocolate syrup
(1 tsp vanilla extract, optional)

Chocolate Almond
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
1 teaspoon almond extract

Strudel
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract

Vanilla Caramel
2 tablespoons caramel ice cream topping
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Chocolate Raspberry
2 teaspoons cocoa powder
2 tablespoons raspberry syrup

Irish Cream
2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
1 teaspoon instant coffee
1-2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract

Coconut
2 teaspoons coconut extract

Samoa (like the Girl Scout Cookies)
2 teaspoons coconut extract (or sub coconut milk or cream of coconut, heated & strained, for the milk/cream)
2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
2 tablespoons caramel ice cream topping

Peppermint Patty
2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
1 teaspoon peppermint extract

Cinnamon Vanilla
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Pumpkin Spice
3 tablespoons pureed pumpkin
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
4 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Honey Vanilla
1/4 cup honey
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Almond Joy
1-2 teaspoons coconut extract (or sub coconut milk or cream of coconut if you heat it first, strained, in place of the milk & extract)
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 tablespoons chocolate syrup

Sweet Cream
Use 1 3/4 cups of heavy cream instead of the milk in the base recipe
2 teaspoons vanilla extract OR the inside of a vanilla bean, scraped
1 teaspoon almond extract

Chocolate Orange
2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
1-2 teaspoons orange extract

Hazelnut
2 teaspoons hazelnut extract

Chocolate Hazelnut
2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
2 teaspoons hazelnut extract

Cinnamon Cake
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Salted Caramel
2-3 tablespoons caramel ice cream topping
1/2 teaspoon salt

Eggnog
replace milk in base recipe with equal amount of heavy cream
1 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons rum extract
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Toasted Almond
2 teaspoons almond extract

Directions & Tips:
In all these recipes, anything that has a dry or thick ingredient (like cinnamon, honey, etc..) should be heated up with a small amount of your milk/cream from the base recipe so it can dissolve properly. You don’t want grainy creamer! Then, add the rest of the milk/cream along with the sweetened condensed milk.

If you want really creamy creamer, use heavy cream instead of milk in your base recipe.

You'll want to stick a piece of tape on they mason jar lid with the expiration date from the milk used. Use this as a guideline as to when the creamer should be used by.

Please feel free to play around with amounts of extracts and other ingredients used if you like stronger or less intense flavors!! And, let your imagination turn, and make up your own combinations. Use this as inspiration to create your very own perfect homemade flavored creamer!

"This is a recipe that I created by modifying my mother's recipe. My boyfriend is a fettuccine Alfredo connoisseur and he scrapes the pan every time! I get nothing but rave reviews when I make this dish. I must warn you, this recipe is not for the health conscious. Enjoy!"

24 ounces dry fettuccini pasta

3/4 pint heavy cream
salt and pepper to taste
1 dash garlic salt
3/4 cup grated Romano cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Add fettuccini and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
In a large saucepan, melt butter into cream over low heat. 
Add salt, pepper and garlic salt. 
Stir in cheese over medium heat until melted; this will thicken the sauce.

Use enough of the pasta so that all of the sauce is used and the pasta is thoroughly coated. 
Serve immediately.

"Delectable home-made egg noodles are a simple matter of flour, salt, eggs, milk and butter kneaded into a dough, rolled out and cut into shapes. Hint: dry the pasta for 20 minutes before cutting, then dry the cut shapes until no longer moist and sticky. This is your basic old fashioned recipe for egg noodles, just like grammy used to make! Try making them next time you prepare your favorite soup or stew. Don't forget that fresh pasta cooks much quicker than dried! You may use a dough hook attachment on your electric mixer or your hands to make the pasta dough."

DIRECTIONS
1. In a Dutch oven, cook sausage, ground beef, onion, and garlic over medium heat until well browned. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, and water. Season with sugar, basil, fennel seeds, Italian seasoning, 1 tablespoon salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons parsley. Simmer, covered, for about 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.
