  The best thing I’ve ever used are the caramel wraps that they sell this time of year in the fruit section. It’s a square or circular sheet of caramel that you simply wrap around the apple. I find it’s the cleanest, softest way to do it. Otherwise, I just melt soft caramels and dip them that way. Making your own caramel is 1) time consuming and 2) prone to error.

  I’ve never found a way to make candy apples that weren’t hard. sorry!

  Kiss the apples all over, before you put the caramel on them. That way, they will get all mushy from your pretty lips. Hee hee. Peace!
