| I swear it has gotten so hard in the past couple of years to find either just plain caramel or the kits that also come with popsicle sticks. I have found some small things of caramels, but there it's only enough to make like 5 apples. Where are the big bags of wrapped caramels that Kraft or Brachs used to make? I haven't checked Giant or Safeway yet so maybe they have them. |

Yeah, just check a regular grocery store like Giant or Safeway and the bags of Kraft Caramels should be there...I haven't looked yet this year...but check the candy isle, I would guess on the bottom shelf...
For some reason I'm picturing them at my local Harris Teeter on the bottom shelf, right next to marshmallows...but different stores might vary... |

| Our grocery puts them in the baking aisle - with marshmallows, choc chips etc. |

Ok...don't know where you live OP, but I just checked the Harris Teeter website for their "Express Lane" for the Arlington store, and it has the Kraft Caramels... http://shop.mywebgrocer.com/shop.aspx?strid=c67a225 |

| The apples are sooooo much better if you make the caramel from scratch yourself--caramel is only sugar and butter after all. Because the homemade caramel is super hot it cooks the apple a little bit when you coat it. This method produces the tastiest apples ever. |

| I found the Kraft bags at Target near the chocolate chips. |

| And you can get the popsicle sticks in the craft section at Wal-mart. |

\ Yes! I remember those. I think they were called Wrapples. They weren't as good as the caramels you melted yourself. |

| They have Circular Sheets of Caramel inside our store in the front near some Apples.I'll buy Kraft Caramels and make Caramel Apples soon. I thought people make them using Brown Sugar and hot water. |

| I've see the caramel wrappers at Walmart. At my local stores, the caramel apple kits are in produce... Right near the apples. |
