I make caramel/chocolate apples as gifts every year at Christmas time. Last year I bought the Merckens caramel block and could not believe how amazing the apples turned out. The caramel melts so well, it definitely makes the job easier. I too use a crock pot to melt the caramel. I decorate them with chocolate, nuts, mini marshmallows, all sorts of cute sugar christmas cookie decos.
