I just remembered...back when I was a kid, my sister-in-law would make candy and caramel apples for Halloween. For the ones she coated in chopped peanuts she would allow the excess coating to drip off, roll them in nuts and put them down on a layer of nuts. Seems to me that would take care of them sticking to the surface and make them completely coated. The trimmings that didn't stick could be gathered back up to use for the next batch. I do wish I could remember how she made that red candy coating though! Hi AJ, I remember nut coated caramel apples too. Yum! There are several recipes online for making the red candy coating for apples. I like the ones with some melted Red Hots candies in them. Have fun! ~ MaryJane
