Caramel Apple Dip

A simple caramel fruit dip sprinkled with toffee bits perfect for dipping in apples or cookies.

I think I have two of the pickiest eaters on the face of this earth. I do have to admit they're getting better but, it's a slow road.  Finding different ways to disguise food is what I have to do most of the time. I have one that likes apples and one that will eat a bit of it if I take off the peeling.

I thought I would try making a Caramel Apple Dip to see if that made the apples more appealing to my little guy who is the pickiest of them all. I knew my daughter would eat it because over the Thanksgiving holiday we had something similar and she loved it. 

This was all about getting Carson on board. The variation we had over the holiday was not quite as fancy schmancy. They just took a block of softened cream cheese and placed it on a plate and poured caramel topping all over the top. It tasted really good, but I didn't care for the way it was plated and served.
 

For one the caramel topping ran off the top of the cream cheese and pooled all over the plate. And the second was it was very difficult to dip the apples pieces into the cream cheese without just getting a blob of cream cheese and no caramel.
 

I thought if I whipped it into a dip and tweaked it up a bit, it would be a bigger hit. I searched around and looked at quite a few caramel dips and just added the ingredients that I liked from all the recipes into one. I think it came out really great.

These are the ingredients you'll: caramel topping sauce, brown sugar, marshmallow fluff, toffee chips, vanilla extract (not pictured) and apples.

Add the apple dip to a decorative bowl and drizzle on more caramel sauce and sprinkle toffee chips on top. Serve with sliced apples!!!
