I made Baby Yoda Caramel Apples! 🍏 After seein

I made Baby Yoda Caramel Apples! 🍏

After seeing so many adorable caramel apples at Disneyland last week, I was inspired to make my own. This was my first time, and boy was it trial and error! 😭

Some tips for first timers: try to thoroughly clean off the wax from your apples, let your caramel mixture cool down a bit before dipping the apples, and cool the apples for a good hour after dipping in the caramel.

RECIPE (makes 5)
- 5 Granny Smith apples
- 11 oz caramel candy (1 bag)
- 2 tbsp water
- 12 oz green candy melts (1 bag)
- 5 jumbo marshmallows
- 5 thick skewers with pointed end
- More pink, dark green, and black candy melts for face details

1. Remove wax from apples using hot water. Completely dry the apples and stick the skewers on top.
2. Melt the caramel candy and water in a pan on medium-low heat until melted.
3. Let the caramel cool a bit and start dipping the apples.
4. Let apples cool in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
5. Melt green candy melts in a medium bowl in 30 second intervals until it has a smooth consistency. Stir between intervals.
6. Cut marshmallows in half and stick them on the sides of the apples using toothpicks or melted chocolate.
7. Dip cooled apples into green candy melts. Shake off excess.
8. Let apples cool again in refrigerator while melting the other colored candy melts.
9. Pipe on Baby Yoda’s face using piping bags or toothpicks.

I made Sumikko Gurashi cupcakes! 🧁

I never had any ideas for character cupcakes until I saw a TikTok hack where you can get a perfectly flat buttercream top by flipping the cupcake upside down onto a baking sheet with wax paper and freezing it for about 20 minutes. Genius! 🤍💚💙🧡

I tried @petit_pot French pudding jars! Petit Po

I tried @petit_pot French pudding jars!

Petit Pot sells delicious 100% organic French desserts in small reusable jars. I tried the Dark Chocolate and paired it with dark chocolate bears 🍫, coconut chips 🥥, and fresh strawberries. 🍓I also tried their Vanilla Bean and paired it with white chocolate bears 🐻 and freeze-dried strawberry crumbles. 🍓Both are delicious and the perfect size for a sweet treat.

Petit Pot is available in singles or pairs for $5 at Whole Foods and Wegman's in the Northeast US. Try it today and let me know what you think! 😄
