The Caramel Apple Maker Lets You Create Classic Halloween Treats

— October 24, 2012 — Special
Prepare your own classic Halloween treats this year with the Caramel Apple Maker from Hammacher Schlemmer. With this handy machine, you can make as many candy apples as you want and create the ultimate drool-worthy Halloween treat by customizing the toppings to your liking.

By using this at-home kit, you can involve your children and prepare caramel apples together. Even health-conscious parents can let their kids indulge in these treats as they start with a healthy fruit base. With a heating implement built into the unit that stays at a consistently warm temperature, the pot keeps up to 14 ounces of caramel smooth and melted without becoming a safety hazard for your young children.
