Whatcha Makin' Now?: Caramel Apples and Other Perfect Gifts

I can't believe Thanksgiving is next week and Christmas is right around the corner. Where does the time go?! I already proclaimed (to Jacob after leaving a store with a checkout line of 60 people) that I will do all of our Christmas shopping online. No exceptions.

I love shopping online. Not only can you do it from the comfort of your own home, but you can truly find a unique gift for everyone on your list.

Partnering with Dean & DeLuca came at the perfect time. Have you visited their website lately? They have the most amazing gourmet goodies. It's a foodie dream come true! I'm drooling over the chicken pot pie, mac and cheese, fancy cheeses, all the candy and the drink mixes. Heck - you could even order your ENTIRE Thanksgiving dinner today from Dean & DeLuca and have it delivered tomorrow. Your secret is safe with me.

I admit. I got sidetracked while Christmas shopping and totally ordered this fun Caramel Apple Kit from Fat Toad Farm. I mean, Cinnamon Caramel. Come on.

This Caramel Apple Kit would make the perfect hostess gift for the loved one hosting Thanksgiving. You could even put in a little gift basket with apples. I like the idea of getting something out of the ordinary for a friend or family member. We all have so much "stuff", why not buy something that can be enjoyed with your friends and family!

The kit was really easy to use. It came with the caramel, apple sticks and instructions. After thickening the caramel on the stove top I dipped the apples, added a few crushed peanuts and I was done!
