Candy Apples...

These are a great fall treat.. I cant think of Fall or Halloween without thinking of these....

 Candy Apples..

12 apples (medium) any kind
2 cups sugar
1 cup of light corn syrup
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon food coloring

Wash apples and dry. Place pop cycle stick in top of apples.
In a sauce pan combine sugar, corn syrup and water. Cook over medium heat until it is boiling. Stirring constantly with a wooden spoon to dissolve sugar. This will take about 5 minutes. Clip candy thermometer on side of pan. Cook until temperature reaches 290 degrees. This will take about 20 to 25 minutes. Watch closely it can scorch easy. Take thermometer out and add food coloring and stir. Dip apples and place on wax paper to dry. You can use different color food coloring and even flavorings. Mom uses cinnamon usually. We have even made them orange for Halloween..


Peanut Butter Brownie Cupcakes...

My kids love peanut butter and pretty much anything with peanut butter in it.  I make these at Halloween every year and they are a huge hit. Needless to say these are regulars at our house now.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Make brownie mix according to package instructions. Place cupcake holders in the cupcake pan and spoon brownie mix into the holders. Add peanut butter cups and put more brownie mix on top to cover it up. Bake 20 to 25 minutes and let cool. Combine morsels and cream over medium to low heat stirring often. Spread over brownie cupcakes and enjoy.
