Tasty Treat Tuesday: Mini Caramel Apples

October 4, 2011 by Leave a Comment

Caramel apples are one of my favorite Halloween treats, but they are not even close to being kid friendly which means I basically never get to eat them anymore.  I just cannot stand the sticky caramel mess that seems to cover my children from head to toe even after just one bite of them.  How does one even do that?  I think my kids have a talent for messes.

I am so excited about this recipe for mini caramel apples!  There is way less mess involved and because they are bite sized you can eat several and not feel as guilty as you do after you have eaten a full sized caramel apple.

Here is what you need to make these mini caramel apples:

  • 4-inch lollipop sticks (or toothpicks)
  • Melon baller
  • Granny Smith apples or whatever you might have on hand (one apple makes about 8 mini
    apples)
  • Butterscotch or peanut butter chips
  • Chopped nuts, nonpareils, sprinkles, shredded
coconut (optional)
  • Small paper candy cups

Here is link to the tutorial for mini caramel apples -> Mini Caramel Apples Tutorial

GIVEAWAY:  $50 Randalls gift card!
 

October 4, 2011  by  77 Comments 


Gas is a major expense in our house every month and we’re always looking for new ways to save on fuel!  Randalls offers gas reward points every day, but right now they have a HOT promotion where you can earn 4X the gas reward points when you purchase gift cards!


Here’s the normal breakdown for gas rewards:


    

  • Every $1 spent on qualifty gift cards = 2 points
    • 

  • Every prescription filled = 50 points
    • 

  • Every $1 spent on groceries = 1 point
    • 



Right now, you will earn 4 points for every $1 spent on gift cards!  You will get $.10 off per gallon on a single fill-up for every 100 points you earn! 




Randalls provided me with a $50 store gift card so I could check out this promotion.  My kids were with me, so I let them pick out their favorites.  They chose a $25 Red Robin gift card, a $15 Subway gift card, and a $15 McDonald’s gift card.  I earned 220 points for purchasing these gift cards, which equals to $.20 off per gallon of gas!  Randalls has a large variety of gift cards to choose from including Amazon, iTunes, Best Buy, Home Depot, Chili’s, Olive Garden, Starbucks, Target, and more!  If you’re going to be visiting these places anyway and spending money, you might as well save some money on gas, too!
