Gourmet Chocolate Caramel Apples w special diet options

Healthy Caramel Apples

Today’s post is from my first guest post writer, Danielle Rouse.  I’d been admiring her clean recipes and beautiful photos for awhile and just thought you all would love to see some of her creations.  What a great recipe to start off with!

My youngest was just begging me to make these Caramel Apples for him when he saw the photo!  (My oldest isn’t keen on dipping things (remember my post on Healthy Meals Your Kids Will Love?) but I’m sure I can put the caramel on something that he’ll gobble up.  I know–this is a “pre-made dipped thing” but that’s just the way that Asperger’s Syndrome works sometimes.  If you have a child with autism, you’ll most likely understand what I mean.)

Anyway, these delectable apples would make a great addition to any Easter celebration.  And you can for sure check out my Healthy Easter Treats Galore if you are lacking at all in that department :-) .
Now…on with the post!
