Hello, we're having a Halloween party in a few weeks, and I've a handful
of caramel recipes, but I want one that will set up hard on an apple and
not slide off. Mine seem to be for really soft caramel that doesn't
stick to your teeth (which is a benefit) but now I'm on the hunt for a
recipe that is a bit on the "sticky" side, or it tends to just slide
right off the apple....

Now, I'm not talking about store-bought apples here. They're coated in
an "edible wax" that gives the apple that lovely shine. No, I use
apples from my friends' trees, so I know they're as natural as can be.
So that's not the issue.

Bring on the sticky, chewy caramel recipes please!

Have you tried looking up recipes for 'toffee apples'? They should give
you a hard toffee solution.
