Caramel Dip for Apples Cooked in the Can (and printable labels)

I know you can get apples and caramel at McDonald’s anytime you want, but how fun to give these cute cans of caramel for Halloween or Fall gifts.  {Think about those perpetual “You’ve Been Booed” bags that go around the neighborhood – wouldn’t this be perfect!}  What’s even better, there is only one ingredient!!  All you need is a can of sweetened condensed milk and you can turn it into a yummy apple dip.  Even better, we’ve made you some cute labels and bag tags to go with.  Here’s how to do it:

Caramel Dip for Apples

Ingredients:

Sweetened Condensed Milk – that’s it!

Directions:

Buy as many cans as you would like to make into caramel.  Remove labels and adhesive and place in a large pot so the cans are covered with water.  The water must cover the top of the cans.   { I like to use the Kroger Store Brand because they have the pull-top lids which are fun and easy to open.}

Boil the cans for 2 1/2 hours.  (Watch to make sure the water doesn’t evaporate below the cans – if it gets close just add hot water to the pot and continue to boil).  Remove and cool completely (overnight).

There you have it-  Your cans are now filled with yummy caramel.   All you do is open, stir until smooth, and your caramel is ready for dipping! {Instructions are on the labels.}

Print out the labels below, trim and use a little double-sided tape to adhere.  There is a Halloween Label and a Fall Label.    Note:  We  recommend printing the can labels on regular paper rather than card stock so it will wrap around the can better.

Add a couple fresh apples and you have a wonderful gift for friends, neighbors, teachers . . . . . who wouldn’t love this!  {There are even some coordinating bag tags for you – how easy is that!}

  2. This is adorable. Thanks! I never knew you could make it without opening the can.

  3. Wow, so excited to try this, having a girls night this Friday and going to give as little “happies”. Question, if I did this the day before do you refrigerate or will it harden too much…how do you store them? Thanks for sharing 🙂

  4. Your friends will love these! No need to refrigerate – they will keep fine unopened (I’ve kept them several weeks). Once I open it I do put any left overs in the frig. Have fun at Girl’s Night!! Hope it’s delicious! Kyra

  9. What a great idea! I’m making homemade Kahlua as a gift too, which has to simmer for 3 hours, so I can have both large pots cookin’ at the same time now! Caramel and Kahlua. Hmmm…sounds kinda good together… Thanks for the great idea.
