Caramel Apples Got Crunchier with SweeTango Apples...

Have you heard? I mean... literally 👂📣

SweeTangos loved for it's crisp, juicy bite and sweet-tangy flavour, have arrived in the stores, but as quickly they are here... they will go. Grown in Nova Scotia, the recent Hurricane Dorian sadly ravished 80% of the crops 😣. Luckily we are able to savour the remainder, but for maybe another month.

Perfect timing for scary season with none other than homemade caramel apples for the ultimate crunch 🎃🍎! Usually sweet chewy caramel is the star ingredient but believe me this apple is the true ROCK STAR 🎸. SweeTangos holds the Guinness World Record for “Loudest Crunch of an Apple” (March 2016)

The bite produced a crunch that clocked in at a remarkable 79.1 decibels- in the same category as the likes of kitchen blenders, vacuum cleaners, or alarm clocks, all of which fall in the 70 – 80 decibel range according to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. A super fun fact my kids were all over! They are avid readers of the Guinness Book of Records and Ripley's Believe It Or Not? you know 😄...

Look for these shiny red-yellow pretties at Loblaws, Fortinos and Zehrs, and get in the noisy, crunchy action. 📣🍎🍎

Flavour described as having a lovely touch of citrus, honey and spice.

Ultimate Crunch Caramel Apples

5 SweeTango apples, washed, well dried
1 pkg. (340 g) Kraft Caramels
2 Tbsp. water or milk

Remove apple stems. Insert wooden pop stick into stem end of each apple. Cover large plate with waxed paper; grease with cooking spray/butter. Microwave caramels and water/milk in microwave on medium heat for two minutes, stopping to stir halfway until caramels are completely melted. Dip apples in caramel and swirl to coat; spoon additional caramel over apples if necessary to evenly coat apples. Let excess caramel drip off. Scrape bottoms of apples; place on prepared plate. Refrigerate one hour to set.

Sebastien's favourite!

Give individual caramels a squeeze; the wrapper pops right open.

Swirly Twirly...

It's the most happiest time of... 🎵🎶

I enjoyed this partnership with SweeTango Apples to promote it's distinct taste, texture, and quality stem from careful breeding, expert horticultural practices, and meticulously selected growing locations. Apple breeders at the University of Minnesota crossed the sweet Honeycrisp and the tangy Zestar! apple varieties to create SweeTango for the nationwide market in 2009. 

Get them before they're gone...

Flashback to another caramel apple experience... Over the summer, my son wanted a $7.00 jaw-breaking candied apple from The Ex. I told him we will make our own with caramels. For the same hefty price of one, we made FIVE👋 (not only shows him the value of money but we had fun cooking together and he's like an expert caramel apple maker)!
