Boozy Butterfinger Caramel Apples

 
 I really adore fall. I love sweaters and moccasins and, you know, caramel apples. Chocolate Butterfinger Caramel Apples to be precise.

Salted Caramel Squares

  I've never made caramel before. It's always seemed too daunting. But really, caramel is easy! It's only four ingredients. The trick to caramel is knowing when to take it off the heat. And luckily, that's not all that hard either.

DIY Fresh Fruit Candy Baskets

 Perfect for party favors, gift baskets, our in our case, a special treat for a five hour car ride.
Adorable, and scrumptious, these little pints of fruit will sweeten anyone's day!

  Today we are embarking on a five hour road trip to a Lutheran retreat. With five kids in the back, you've got to have something to sooth their bordom.
 I meant to give these away as gifts, but when I got in the car I saw each box placed on separate seats, claiming the boxes for their own. That's fine. At least it kept them quiet and I got to take a nap.

What you will need:

Four paper pint baskets
Sweet & Sour Cherries
Strawberry Bon Bon wrapped hard candy 

Orange Slices
Peace Slices
Twine
Card stock
Saran Wrap 

Empty each respective candy fruit onto a square of saran wrap, bunch it up at the bottom and place it into the paper pints.
 Cut out tag shapes in the card stock and write "Fresh ___" on each tag. Use a hole puncher, or if you're like me and can't find one even after ransacking your entire home, just poke a hole near the top with a sharpened pencil.
 Run the twine through the hole and double the twine, tie it in a bow.
Enjoy!
