DIY Snack of the Week: Caramel Apple Dip


Ingredients:
  • 1 (14-oz) bag caramel squares, unwrapped
  • 1 (14-oz) can sweetened condensed milk, (I used fat free!)
Directions:

1. Combine the unwrapped caramel squares and sweetened condensed milk in a medium-size microwaveable bowl.
2. Microwave for 1 minute. Stir. Continue to microwave at 30 second intervals, stirring in between. Mine took 3 minutes and 30 seconds to completely melt and get to the consistency I wanted.
3. When it's cooled down enough, pour into Mason jars or other sealed containers and store in the refrigerator.
OR enjoy with a sliced apple right away.
