1.) So much fun

I received on of these as a gag gift because I like caramel apples so much. It is one of my kitchen favorites. It is very easy to make caramel apples and I have used it for other things, too. As a gag I dipped Triscuits in dark chocolate for my sister's boyfriend. He loved them so much I had to dip 200 of them for their wedding reception. By using the microwave there is hardly any mess and the fork that comes with it is worth it's weight in gold. I hunted for these for months and when I found them I bought 4 so I could give them as gifts. Not as gag gifts anymore. When my friends ask me where I got it, I know what they will be getting for their birthday.

2.) Great teacher gift!!

I have to confess... I haven't actually used this, but I did want to write a review that answers a couple of the questions I had prior to purchasing. I was looking for a couple of fun, end-of-year teacher gifts, and wanted to stick with the 'apple for the teacher' theme. Came across this apple dipper and thought it would be perfect... though I had a couple of questions that are not answered in the description, I opted to order a couple and I'm so glad I did!!
First, the 'set' does come in a box... a nice box that says exactly what the product is, describes what it can be used for (along with foods other than apples), and has pictures on the different sides of the box showing the basic instructions, along with some yummy-looking 'finished' candy apples. I had been a little nervous that the apple dipper might arrive in some type of baggie (not really an ideal way to present a gift), and no real description of what it actually is (would be a little hard to figure out without some type of description). So again, I was really pleased with the packaging... it is just as I'd hoped. Along with the description, photos and simple instructions on the outside of the box, there is a small booklet inside that has care instructions and tips, directions for caramel-dipped apples, chocolate double-dipped apples, gourmet apple toppings.... along with various suggestions and tips for toppings, etc. It is a very basic 'user's guide' booklet... but something I'm glad is included. Assuming the apple dipper functions as stated, I think it is a great gift idea at a very reasonable price point, and I've already ordered two more for next year's teacher gifts!


3.) An Apple Toy...on no no a computer....

Ok it's a toy for making carmaled apples. Or you can also use to melt carmels yours or commercial bought ones with wrappers removed...also you can find blocks of carmel also but anyway you melt the carmels in the microwave couldn't be more simple and you can use it as a dipper for pieces of dunk the whole apple into the carmel and then let set up on wax paper and stick with a stick and enjoy like an oldfashion carmel apple. I wish it was smaller but for plastic seems sturdy enough and looks like it should hold up over time. I have their popcorn popper for microwave too. Not so happy with it but is that my microwave or the popper or the combination of the two. Some peoples microwaves work geat with the popper others like mine not so hot.
