Honeycrisp apples are my favorite for these caramel sweets!

You can use any caramel you like. These caramel bits melt easily and caramel sheets are also a time saving

Stir constantly until melted and shiny and smooth.

Using a rubber spatula, smooth the caramel on the apples, covering completely.

Let excess drip off then place on the lined baking sheet.

Set up a decorating station before you dip your apples so you are ready to go.

 I use these candy bunny feet and mini marshmallows for the bunny butt decorations!

Spread marshmallow cream all over each apple.

Before they dry, press on two bunny feet on the bottom and a mini marshmallow tail on the top.
You can also sprinkle with white sugar crystals.
