Caramel Apple Dipping Bar
Turn this classic fall treat into a quick, easy, and customizable snack.
Sep 09, 2025
The sound of biting down on a crisp apple echoing the crunching of autumn leaves is one of my favorite sounds of fall. One of my favorite flavors of the season is caramel. (Sorry pumpkin spice, but you're not the only flavor of fall.) Combine them and what do you have? Caramel apples! But sometimes they're just too big to eat. This dipping bar, which deconstructs the caramel apple, is an easy and delicious way for you and your little ones to enjoy the sweet treat without throwing away half-eaten apples.

To make the setup simple, we used Harry & David’s caramel sauce. However, you can easily make your own sauce, but who has the time? It's fall: You have football to watch, Halloween costumes to think about, a flannel shirt to buy. Pair the caramel sauce with rich Scharffen Berger chocolate bars for a match made in heaven. Melt the chocolate chips for easy dipping. With the sauces ready, it’s time for the toppings!
For the classic caramel apple, add chopped nuts, sprinkles, and your favorite candy. Add some coconut flakes and Moose Munch Premium Popcorn for that extra crunch.
Make sure you have enough skewers so everyone can dip to their heart's content.
Wait, we know it's obvious, but remember the apples!
