Cream Cheese, Brown Sugar, Caramel, and Toffee Bars...Oh My....

A friend from years ago shared this recipe with me and since then I've used it frequently for gatherings and have shared it with others. It's gets rave reviews every time, as well as repeat invitations. 

Below is a recipe for what I've named 

The Apple Dip
Satisfies 10-12 Adults






Prep to Serve Time:
15 Minutes - the apple cutting takes the longest


Ingredients:
1 Bar of Cream Cheese, soften (1/3 fat ok)
1/2 of Light Brown Sugar

4 large Green Apples, sliced 
1/4 or so of Creamy Caramel 
4 Skor or Toffee Candy Bars
1 Pie Dish or a Serving Plate

Step 1:
Combine in a small bowl your Brown Sugar and Softened Cream Cheese




Step 2:
Smear Cream Cheese mixture into/onto your serving dish

Step 3:
Open your Caramel Tub (I try to use Low-Fat when available, makes me feel better)
Grab a large Dollop with your Spatula and begin to spear a layer of it onto the cream cheese mixture


It should look like this when finished.


Step 4:
Break open all candy bars and place into your processor. If a processor isn't available, in the past I've placed all broken candy pieces into a ziplock bag.  I've then place the bag in between a dish town and used the flat side of a spoon to mash up the pieces finely.



After mixing it should, can, look like this; some finely chopped and some pieces still large.


Step 5:
Remove all large pieces and place to the side.  Sprinkle finely chopped candy over top of dish to evenly cover the mixture below.  Add remaining large pieces to the processor and mix again.

Step 6:
Wash and dry your apples and begin to cut them into wedges.  You can use an apple cutter but I've found that it's the same amount of time.  I like to cut them clean, meaning remove any core pieces from the apple.



Once you've finished cutting, place your apples into an air tight container and marinate them in 1/4 cup of lemon juice to preserve freshness and prevent browning. 7-up works as well.


When ready to serve, assemble apple wedges all the way around the brim of your dish.

Enjoy!!!

February Giveaway - A Great, Going Out Wallet

I've been having so much fun giving away Handmade by Hilani pieces but I'm particularly excited about these last two prizes.

Last week I gave away a Valentine's Day themed Re-usable Drink Sleeve.

This weeks product, The Elizabeth Wallet, was inspired by a friend who designed the Liz Wallet (photo below) with me.  The Liz wallet is great for small items but many asked for a larger version, so the Elizabeth Wallet was born.  

Here's a picture of the Liz Wallet




And here's a picture of the Elizabeth Wallet, 
this weeks giveaway prize.

Measuring 8" by 4 3/4"  it's large enough to hold a Smartphone, ID/credit cards, lipstick and a key.  It's the perfect accessory for the going-out essentials.  It's design includes a vinyl front pocket with Velcro closure. 



Enter Below for the Elizabeth Wallet




And here's a look at next weeks Giveaway...my very favorite of them all!  The Hilani Purse and you can read more about it HERE.  It's a really fun story...


Good Luck friends!  Thanks for being part of the Handmade by Hilani family!
