These turned out great! Easy to make, love the marshmallow "hint"-just seems to give the caramel a creamy flavor. I was able to get 7 apples covered. I rolled 1/2 of mine in chopped toasted almonds, the other half in chocolate sprinkles-the caramel is nice and glossy. Thanks for posting!

I LOVED the taste and texture of the caramel but it was just a little too thick for my taste. They were a big hit at our house last night with the family. I dont know if it was something I did or if the marshmallows made them like this. Next time I may try puttting less marshmallows. This was also my first time making them so it could of very well been something on my end. All in all, very tastey!

I made these for Halloween instead of my old standby. They were a hit. I liked the texture the marshmallows added to the caramel. Dipped some in pecans and some in mini M&M's. Thanks grandma2969. Bullwinkle.

I had never made caramel apples using marshmallows before but they turned out great! I will never use the recipe on the back of the caramels bag again! I quadrupled the recipe and cooked it in a crockpot (WARNING: Stir often because the marshmallows will scorch). This is a great recipe! Thanks so much for posting it.

I made these but they didn't turn out for me. The caramel was so hard you couldn't bite through it. It was my first time making caramel apples so I didn't give any stars because it very likely could have been my technique not the recipe. Lisa
