I heart caramel apples

So I have a really, really big weak spot for caramel apples with peanuts. Growing up my mom used to melt a bag of caramel squares, unwrapped in a double boiler with a splash of milk. We used popsicle sticks to dip the apples in. It really was so much fun. I might try a recipe from scratch over the weekend because g's not fond of the peanuts. I tried to explain to her from many different points of view what she was missing but she would not budge. c.
