Customers appreciate this caramel dip for its thick consistency and rich flavor, ideal for coating apples. It requires a considerable amount of time to melt, and achieving the right temperature can be challenging.

This caramel did not stick to any of the apples I bought. I ended up having to do chocolate covered apples for my vendor event at a private school here in Gainesville, Fl. I did my research and this Carmel had the best ratings. Unfortunately, I am with a handful of people that reviewed it as the worst caramel they've ever used. The caramel never melted properly. I even bought the soup warmer. They suggested me to buy along with it. I wasted well over $.

Thank you for your review, Rachel! We would like to gather more information about your experience with this caramel dip. A Customer Solutions Representative will contact you soon!

We make our own caramel to use in turtles and salted caramels. However, we use this to make caramel apples with. It's surprisingly tasty caramel...and perfect for the apples.

Makes great caramel apples. Customers love the product. Only downside is that it takes about 2 hours to fully melt in order to dip the apples.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

This is a big can of thick caramel, it was too thick for covering apples and we ended up putting it on top ice cream. Very hard to get out of the can

Great for caramel apples! We dipped a bunch last fall. I used a crock pot but it'd probably be better in a warmer. Will order again for this fall.

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??
