Caramel Apples

Some time back I had a question about Caramel apples. The votes are in the Caramel apples won. This recipe is a good one, I like using the small apples for it.
This Photo is from B-Movie star. I liked the way they wrapped the sticks with ribbons. The presentation is great also. How about a plate of these for your Thanksgiving Spread.
