I made these for my daughter's wedding reception a few weeks ago and they were a hit. People were hitting the dessert table and taking the apples before we even ate dinner! I used the Merckens caramel but it didn't take nearly 2 hours in the crock pot - it melted right away. I put my chocolate in a ziplock bag, microwaved it for a few seconds until it melted and then cut a very small bit our of the bottom corner of the bag. That way I could drizzle the chocolate over the apple and not have any clean up. You are right in using a tart apple to balance with the sweet caramel. I can't wait to try it with the salt - that sounds so good! How wonderful! What a great wedding memory your family will have for years to come. Just think, every time your daughter and son-in-law have caramel apples, they will be reminded of their wedding. Go MOM! ~ MaryJane
