i love the carmel but it did not work in my super large crock pot doing just had of the box of carmel. so I used the double boiler and had to keep stiring it since the bottom was smooth and the top thick. when i tried to smooth off some of the thick carmel on the apples it would all come off. tricky process. i have my costed apples in the frig cooling now/ do you recommend using cupcakes wrapper to sit then in to transoport to my daughter at sewanee- the univ. of the south ? i also got the clear treat bags to sit them in for the trip, has anyone used those? Hi Jeannie, Yes, you do have to stir the caramel when you are melting it to make one smooth batch that is evenly heated throughout. For the slipping caramel, it sounds like there may have been some residual wax still on the apples. Be sure to give them a really good bath. I have used both the cupcake liners and the clear goodie bags for storing and transporting the apples. The cupcake papers do tend to stick a bit sometimes, just peel them off. The goodie bags make the apples very easy to store and a pretty ribbon ties it all together. How 'bout using her school colors? ~ MaryJane
