Caramel
Filled Leaves
1 pound Merckens
orange candy wafers
Squeeze bottle (81-6)
Fall Leaf Mix candy mold (1026)
Painter’s palette (83-150)
4 oz. caramel (102-NC30)
12 Lollipop sticks (5000)
Instructions
Melt orange candy wafers according
to package instructions. Fill squeeze bottle with the melted wafers. Squeeze
a small amount of candy wafers into each mold cavity. Use brush from painter’s
palette to coat the sides of each mold cavity with melted orange wafers.
Chill 10-15 minutes. Heat caramel according to package instructions. Remove
mold from refrigerator. While caramel is still warm, spoon a very small
amount of caramel into each mold cavity on top of the hardened candy shells.
Insert a lollipop stick into each stick cavity of the mold, pressing it
into the caramel. Chill 10-15 minutes. Reheat candy wafers in the squeeze
bottle if necessary. Squeeze enough candy wafers into each mold cavity
to cover the caramel. Tap mold onto a hard surface to allow melted wafers
to spread to the ends of each mold cavity. Add additional melted wafers
to each mold cavity if necessary. Chill 10-15 minutes.
