One of my favorite things of fall is Caramel Apples.  And I think mini caramel apples would make the cutest favors and accents to your cocktail hour.   And if you are hosting a fall get together, try making these for your friends, I am positive you will have none left by the time everyone leaves!

How to make your own Caramel Apples:

Image and original recipe by Family Fun

You will need lollipop sticks, granny smith apples,  a melon baller,  caramel, and any other topping you want to put on there.

Take the apple and use the melon baller to scoop out a ball of apple.  Make sure some peel is on the end, as that is what you will stick the lollipop stick through.  Once attached to the stick, you can dip the apples in any combination of toppings that you desire.  Place on wax paper to dry, or in paper candy cups, and then later you can tie bags around each one if a favor or leave out for guests on decorative platters.

I just love fall!
