While you do need to heat up the maple syrup, honey, cream, and vanilla to make the caramel, all you have to do after that is dip some apples into the caramel, and drizzle with chocolate. Lots and lots of chocolate. (via Half Baked Harvest)

Halloween Bats
Supplies:
- Mandarins, such as Wonderful Halos
- Food coloring markers
- Scissors
- Black heavyweight paper or card stock
- Paring knife
- Adhesive dots
Instructions:
- Draw jack-o-lantern faces onto the mandarins with the food coloring marker.
- Cut pairs of bat wings, leaving an extra bit – around ¼ inch – on the flat side to fold back and act as a tab. Add an adhesive dot to the tab to adhere each wing to the mandarin.
- Cut pairs of small triangles for ears. Use the knife to cut small shallow slits on the top of the mandarin and tuck in the ears. (via Jodi Levine)
