Making caramel chocolate (not toffee) apples!

While looking for homeschooling material for next year, I found a wonderful kids cooking course. I downloaded it, and took an easy lesson to get us started (why wait till next year?). 
As you can see, the ingredients were simply irresistible, so a few got "munched" along the way.
Step 1: Wash and dry some apples, and put a lolly or small skewer stick through the core.
(we used pink lady apples - a combination of sweet and tart - simply delicious)

Step 2: Unwrap a bag of caramel toffees
Its easier to unwrap the toffees with at least ONE in your mouth!!  

Step 3: Dip the apples in caramel and leave for a while to set.
    
Don't drool too much!!
Step 4: While waiting, melt some chocolate in a double boiler and dip the slightly cooled caramel apples in it.

Yes, by now we could hardly contain ourselves!
Step 5: Roll in chopped nuts, chocolate vermicelli or any other toppings you fancy!! Refrigerate until you can bear it no longer!!!
Voila - our dessert for the evening!!
Apples will never be the same again... so we need to put a bit of a restriction on how many times a month (or week) we can use this recipe!!
