A few years ago we introduced our limited edition chocolate chip caramel apple.  We call it ‘limited edition’ because we’re still not able to 100% predict the ratio of chocolate chip/plain/nut caramel apples we need to make each time.  We do have the nut/plain ratio pretty much figured out but the chocolate chips throw a wrench into things a bit.  I personally love the chocolate chip ones – it’s like a Rolo covered apple – yummy!

Anyway – I had to post this picture of Capri.  Capri is our 6 year old and she is truly a HUGE helper at the orchard.  She is in charge of picking all of our baby tomatoes and she does a great job at keeping up with the patch. She also LOVES to help Papa (aka Jared) make caramel apples.  She has two jobs – taking the plains of the tray that they ‘dry’ on and putting them into the packages and labeling all the packages.  This girl can actually focus and do the task with little to no whining.  The other morning she was a super helper and she earned her very own actual chocolate chip caramel apples.  (We’ll often cut up a caramel apple into slices for the girls to each but they rarely get their own big caramel apple).  She insisted in eating it the traditional way one eats a caramel apple – on a stick.  Good luck Capri!
