Know those caramel-covered sour apple lollipops that some crazy folk give away at Halloween? I was one of those kids wh dove into my bag in search of stuff like that, the weird and indescribable (what is chik-a-stick , anyway??). I wanted to make caramel apples this fall, but they're everywhere, and they feel a little...how can I admit it? Tired. Not that apple cider caramel lollies are that different, but it allowed me to indulge in some caramel-making, and reminded me just how hard it is to pour dangerously hot magma into a perfect circle on an uneven surface!
