I love going to check out Creation Corner she has a link party every Friday and I saw this project
and I thought - I can totally make that happen for my book club.
We read - Water for Elephants. Which by the way is a super fun book. It's a quick read and a little saucy in some places. I am looking forward to seeing how it's going to be adapted for the big screen - but not super excited that "Edward" is going to be playing the main role.
So because our book was about the circus I thought it would be fun to have food themed around the book. Who doesn't love food on a stick.
And so there was a plan to go to our friend Ellen's house for a good ol' time. Well Ellen's daughter got sick and so we had to make a quick change and our very generous friend Jess offered to host at her house.
She was awesome and put together a party in a matter of minutes - full on with food on a stick. I planned to bring caramel apple bites.
Sadly my caramel apples did not look like this:

I couldn't find the same caramel bits that had been used in the recipe. So I thought that it would be okay to use branch's caramel pieces. I put them in a sauce pan and started to melt them down.
I used my melon baller to cut out my little mini apples. I was on my way to mini apple greatness.
Or so I thought...
I set out my parchment paper and was ahead of schedule. I was able to see that the caramel set and thought people were going to be amazed by my crafty-goodness. I went to bed dreaming of my delicious treats.
I got up in the morning and this is what I found:
But I had to bring some treat to book club. I was determined not to show up empty handed.
So thank goodness for supermarkets.
