They're fun and fairly fast to make. If you have a hard time finding caramels in your area, let me know, I'd be happy to send you some from Canada (if you're legally allowed to import foreign foods). <br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-60464398099510897782013-10-26T05:12:03.923-07:002013-10-26T05:12:03.923-07:00I have never tried making caramel apples myself, p...I have never tried making caramel apples myself, perhaps I should give it a try, yhey also look delish. :)SANNEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12973437247117000140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-79842199226072580432013-10-22T08:31:02.968-07:002013-10-22T08:31:02.968-07:00I love this time of year so much!

I'm not a fan of warm weather, so I'm rather pleased to be feeling the bitter chill of a Northern English October ;)<br />I wish Halloween was a bigger deal over here; I've dressed up and been to a few Halloween parties, but I don't think I ever trick or treating nor carved a pumpkin. I'm so totally fascinated by how the holiday is celebrated in other countries. <br /><br />♥Sophie Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09692588638699153753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-16729737098830325112013-10-21T12:02:06.486-07:002013-10-21T12:02:06.486-07:00Isn't it interesting how we can reach adulthoo...Isn't it interesting how we can reach adulthood without having tried certain commonplace foods? I think we all have at least a few things that fall into that camp. Both are scrumptious, but I prefer caramel apples (followed by candy apples, then the chocolate version). They're addictively delicious! :)<br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-77251517330176938092013-10-21T09:10:26.156-07:002013-10-21T09:10:26.156-07:00You know I have never had a caramel or chocolate a...You know I have never had a caramel or chocolate apple??

I'm so inspired by this coming Halloween (this holiday isn´t celebrated in Spain) that I'm planning to cook a big family dinner at home, I'm going to do Halloween decorating and enjoy the first film "Frankenstein" in black and white, of course! The fact that Halloween is not celebrated in my country is that there are no recipes for this dinner ... so if this is well for you , I will "steal" your recipes to bring them to my table.

I would have gleefully gotten married on Halloween (whether I had an All Hallows Eve themed wedding or not). It's my favourite holiday of the year, so getting to celebrate an anniversary on top that fact would have been uber cool. As it turns out, I was an October bride, too, just not a Halloween one. <br /><br />Happy early anniversary wishes to you both!<br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-31497321543115401192013-10-19T14:14:37.014-07:002013-10-19T14:14:37.014-07:00Hi Ally, that's is such a terrific Halloween p...Hi Ally, that's is such a terrific Halloween prank! I love it when practical jokes/pranks are funny/happy, not malicious or likely to really upset anyone. Plus the idea of a coin filled pumpkin is just plain fantastic! It makes me think that it should be a wide spread idea, a bit like the tooth fairy leaving coins for kids, on Halloween. It also reminds me of the tradition of putting coins in birthday cakes that my mom always did for us when we were growing up (finding the dollar, or loonie as we call them up here in Canada, was the coveted goal!).<br /><br />Thank you much for your great comment and compliment.

I play pranks on my wife who's a straightlaced schoolteacher. Last year, I read about one in a book for teasing children, so I used it on my wife and it was perfect. My wife mentioned that she'd never carved a pumpkin before, so I insisted we do one. We spread out newspaper, cut open the top of a pumpkin and I told her to stick her hands in and pull out the guts. As she did, coins started falling out! Quarters and dimes and nickels inside the pumpkin. My wife was amazed. She looked at me quizzically and I said, "You got a money pumpkin!" She wondered how the farmer had grown it.<br /><br />After ten minutes, I burst out laughing and told her how I'd done it. Before we started, I took a knife and sliced a tiny hole in the bottom of the pumpkin, just big enough to slip coins inside. When she realized she'd been pranked, she was equally amused and annoyed.Shybikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15263331247319768989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-3267076779566422042013-10-19T10:12:43.414-07:002013-10-19T10:12:43.414-07:00I may use the Mulled Cider to make some hot tottie...I may use the Mulled Cider to make some hot totties.
