Caramel Dip/Sauce

I love when Halloween rolls around and the weather starts to change. I always crave caramel apples, but seriously they are the hardest things to eat. Plus there is never enough caramel on the darn apple. You eat all the outside and are left with a plain apple. Who loves that??? Well here is the solution. This dip is just like the caramel apple but you can dip these apples one after another, it is that good. Believe me I did just that (A little bit of apple and a whole lot of caramel). I also hate having to stir and stir caramel to get it to the soft ball stage and all that fuss. This was so super easy and fast and holy cow I could eat the caramel with a spoon forget the apples. This is also perfect for ice cream or any dessert that calls for a caramel sauce. Enjoy the Fall Season!!
