Ok, so I did a lot of research on which caramel dip to buy and I will say that I was VERY happy with this purchase. Let me break down the things that I searched long and hard for and couldn't find. 1- About ONE #10 can will cover 75 snacking size apples (or about 60 regular sized apples). I chose snacking apples because they are less intimidating for folks at an event to eat than a regular large sized apple. 2- The reviews are correct- it will take close to 4 hours for this guy to melt if you are doing it over the stove in a pot of water. I had the best luck with chiseling out caramel and putting it in a silicone mixing bowl and microwaving for 20 seconds. This made it much quicker for me. 3- The caramel dries FAST and Read More

Ordered 2 cans and I was able to cover about 100 apples with 2 cans. I didn't have the warmer so I just used a big stainless pot with water and canning lids on the bottom. Worked perfect.

The caramel dip was a hit with my customers. The product arrived just in time for my holiday sale. The dip is very thick and rich. It provides the best coverage on large apples. My custom double dipped apples where a hit and I will always use this product. I would like lower shipping cost though.

We use this caramel to make our jumbo gourmet caramel apples. I recommend watching the video and using the Avantco 300 soup warmer. If I crank it up it takes right around 2 hours to melt the caramel. Be careful heating with the lid because the condensation will water down your caramel. I usually cover the caramel with foil. This caramel is very thick and spinning to get the excess off will cramp your fingers if you’re making jumbo apples. I usually spin and use an offset spatula to scrape excess caramel off the bottom. Set your apples on a silpat mat to make it easier to remove. Our customers love these apples and I can’t keep up with the demand.

I am going on 3 hours and the dip is not even close to being the right viscosity. I am glad I tried this prior to my event because the video says 1-2 hours. THAT IS VERY INCORRECT, please try this dip out prior to using for an event. We hope to do 300 caramel apples and this would NOT be possible with this dip unless you have 10 different heating apprentices.

Thank you for your feedback! We are sorry this caramel sauce is not melting correctly for you; we recommend heating this dip to at least 175 to 185 degrees. If you have questions, please contact our Customer Solutions team.

Nice thick, tasty coating that firms up well. Coats apples and pears with minimal effort. I do use a bit of fine grit sand paper on the apple skin prior to dipping. It allows the Carmel to adhere so much better. This coating has no crystal formation or graininess.

Love the taste of the caramel. You need to research the correct warmer for this. The one i got on here was not the best, i had to warm it hours before i needed it and it laid the caramel on quite thick. Do your reasearch and find the right warmer or youll waste product like i did. Would buy again!

Ordered this for a caramel apple bar at a catering event. The dip took excessively long to melt, more than stated in the instructions. This caused issues with timing and serving, though the taste was good.

The caramel we purchased with this company has been only positive feedback. Our caramel apples came out super delicious...we have also made chocolate covered clusters with and without chocolate. We have sold the clusters only caramel and pecans, because the customers preferr the taste of the caramel.

This stuff is pretty thick and it's great for caramel apples. Smells delicious and holds well on the apples. You have to open the can and really dig it out or melt it in hot water first but we usually just scoop it out and then microwave it when we need softer. It's cheaper than other brands out there and tastes delicious.

Like this caramel sauce, however don’t use it for caramel apples any more. It takes too long to soften, so we let it melt on the stove and use it in any of our bake items that call for caramel. Great taste, good price??

A very easy to use caramel dip that saves us the headache of creating the perfect dipping sauce. The Carnival King dip is easy to warm up and coats the apples nicely for great tasting fall treats.
