It’s time for another Ask Emmaline wedding advice question! Bride-to-be Karen wants to buy caramel apple favors for her wedding but she’s not sure where to go. She writes,
“I’m planning a late fall wedding and we’re deciding on wedding favors. We want to give caramel apples as favors to guests. I originally wanted to make them ourselves, but I’m not sure how difficult it will be and I am not sure where to buy them. Do you have any ideas on where to get apples in bulk or where to buy caramel apple favors for weddings? Thanks!”
Great question, Karen! There are a few options when it comes to making or buying caramel apples for your wedding favors. Here are some tutorials for making your own DIY caramel apples, where to buy caramel apple favors, and a few caramel apple alternatives that you’ll find almost as good as the real thing. Adults and kids love these favors, so you’ll be making many guests very happy. :) And they are always a top fall wedding idea every single year. Enjoy!
DIY Caramel Apple Favors
If you have time, a few helpers, and a little patience, you can make incredible DIY caramel apple favors thanks to this brilliant tutorial from Evermine. Check out their DIY project here. You could make them however you’d like: dip apples in white chocolate (as shown in the image below), in dark chocolate or milk chocolate, sprinkles, etc. To melt the chocolate, you can use a double boiler process or make it super easy with one of these and lots of extra melting chocolate. You use popsicle sticks like these to make it easy to hold. If you’re making caramel apples, use these wraps on your apples. It’s easy! I also like the favor tags you can make from their site that say, “Apple-y Married“. Cute play on words! My choice apple: sprinkles. Always sprinkles!
If you do make your own apple favors, we love these green leaf tags you can attach (from Jen Aitchinson). These are no longer available, so we found these as an alternate.
Or make custom tags from here as another option.
