While many of us carve pumpkins for the Halloween season, there is another tradition that brings many of us back to our childhood – caramel apples! While the traditional apple dipped in caramel and put on a wooden stick is still a favorite, there are many ways to spice up this delicious treat.

Here are some fun recipes from Delish.com:

• Candy Apples – Replace caramel with cinnamon candies to add a little kick to your Halloween.  To add a little flair to your candy apples, stick them on clean twigs or candy sticks instead of wood dowels.
• Triple Dipped S’mores Apples – Two classics come together when you melt marshmallows and chocolate chips onto Granny Smith apples and dip them into crushed graham crackers to create Triple Dipped S’Mores Apples.
• Candy-Coated Caramel Apples­ – Take your caramel apples one step further by setting them into a pile of candy toppings. From M&M’s to Butterfingers, the candy will add an extra crunch to your caramel apple recipe.
• Decadently Dark Candy Apples – We can’t forget to pay tribute to the villains of Halloween with these bewitching apples. Follow the same recipe as the before mentioned candy apples, but add a little black food coloring to add a dark spin to your Halloween treats.
• Ghostly Coconut – Covered Apples – If you are going for a ghastly white theme, try out this Ghostly Coconut-Covered Apples recipe. By dipping the apples into melted white chocolate and covering it with shredded coconut, you will get a treat that is sure to satisfy everyone’s sweet tooth.
