My Favorite Homemade Halloween Costumes

Each year I get super excited about Halloween because it an opportunity for so many to express their creativity with decorations and Halloween costumes.

CARAMEL APPLE DIP

What's Halloween without Caramel Apples? Therefore, to add a twist to this tasty treat you will only need 7 ingredients along with an electric hand mixer to make this deliciously addicting dip....just in time for apple season! Enjoy!

Also if you want to slow down the browning process immediately after cutting apples, add slices to a bowl of cold water with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Remove slices from lemon water (allowing excess water to drain off) and serve alongside your fantastic dip.
