Tips & Warnings
Set the apples on a nonstick surface while the caramel hardens.
You can decorate your wrapping to further customize your creation. Add stickers, glitter, or draw your own design with a permanent marker or paint pen. If you have software that makes labels, create your own labels with your name and the recipient's printed on it.
