How To Make Caramel Apples (Easy)
These apples make me feel as if I'm that witch from snow white, cackling away in front of a pot of bubbling death goo. Fortunately, these apples don't boil with evil at all. In fact, I could eat these every day as long as diabetes doesn't catch up with me.
What you need:
1) apples, small ones. You don't
Want to choke yourself.
2) caramel cubes. Mine were vanilla flavoured but anythings fine.
3) cookies, for making the crumb coating
4) ice cream sticks
5) two pots, big and small
Boil some water in your big pot. While waiting for your water to boil, gather the caramel cubes into the small pot, and add a little water so that it's easier for the caramels to melt.
Also, stick the ice cream sticks into the apples, it's easier than you think!
Next, crush the cookies into chunky crumbles and store in a wide bowl.
When the water starts to boil, place the small pot into the boiling water and let the caramels melt. When it starts to get all gooey and sticky, stir it with a 'twist' like motion, it helps in breaking up the caramel.
When the caramel melts into a smooth, silky texture, dip the apples into the Caramel and evenly coat them by spinning them round slowly until the caramel starts to harden. Dip the apples into the crumbs and you're done!
Now you must be wondering about what you should do with the caramel left overs, well, there's a whole lot of things you can do, don't waste! Make caramel tea! Stuff them into ice cream! Fruits, biscuits! Anything really.
I bet the person who made this was totally feeling guilty about eating so many caramels. I mean, anyone would feel better just eating these. "oh, look! Here's an apple! I'm not being overly indulgent, I'm being...HEALTHY. Yes, that's right."
Enjoy!

How to Fry the Perfect Bacon
| Bacon Bacon Bacon Bacon Bacon YUMM |
Sure sure, I may like my Bacon sweet and chewy, but you might like it salty and crunchy. Heck, someone out there probably likes it boiled in vinegar. The point is, there are NO RULES when it comes to bacon, anything goes! Yeah, I mean it. If there's Bacon lip balm and Bacon ice cream, I doubt anything can stand in the way of the unrelentless quickly advancing Bacon kingdom.
Well, Here's MY approach to frying up the perfect Bacon slice. If you're up for sweet, chewy Bacon, then this is for you. It's really really simple.
What you Need:
1)Bacon (yeah duh.)
3)Oil (Whatever oil's fine. But if you're feelin' classy, EXTRA virgin's good)
2)Garlic (Chopped)
2)Honey
3)Rosemary (fresh if possible)
4)Basil (finely chopped
5)Some freshly squeezed lemon juice
6)Pepper(optional)
So, Once you've got everything sorted out on a table, (You don't want to end up burning your babies just because you left the pepper in the fridge) Preheat your frying pan. Then, Add a little oil (Very very little. Your bacon's got enough oil in it to cook itself, so don't worry) to coat the pan so that it doesn't stick.
Now, throw in your garlic and let sizzle until you can smell the heavenly aroma.
Place your Bacon strips onto the pan, and then drizzle honey over the slices. Make sure everything's evenly coated before you flip them over.
Drizzle more honey onto the other side. When the oil from the bacon slices starts oozing out, toss in your rosemary leaves and take care not to shove them into one corner of a pan (They'll get lonely) Rub them into the bacon, and make sure the flavours mingle.
Add a squeeze of lemon, and pinch of pepper, and once your Bacon's ready, turn the fire off and let cool. Sprinkle some basil (Well, anything looks great with basil) and you're done!
It should look something like the picture above, unless you're a horrible cook or if you've left the pepper in the fridge even though I warned you. TIPS! Don't add too much honey. You will be tempted to, trust me. But JUST don't. really.
Have fun! Hungry Bunny over and out~
