Can I tell you how much I love caramel? This sweet, chewy, soft, rich caramel is just right to use as a dip for apples. This easy caramel recipe has only three ingredients and comes together really quickly. My kids love it for an after school snack, or an after dinner dessert. I have the kids eat it with apples. Me? I eat it with a spoon!

Easy Caramel Dip Recipe

This recipe originated from a friend of mine as well as from my mom. My mom uses as a dip for apples.

My friend uses it in a completely different, but just as yummy way. She makes two batches of rice crispy treats. Once they are set, she spreads the caramel over the top of one pan of rice crispies, then carefully places the other batch of rice crispies on top. The result is a layered caramel and crispy treat that takes the classic kid's snack to a decadent dessert.

Since it's such an easy recipe, it's a great one to experiment with. Try adding it as a topping or filling to your favorite desserts, giving them a caramel twist.
