Remember the delicious caramel dip I posted last week? You must try it ASAP if you haven’t already. I made the cutest little gifts with the leftovers for a few friends. I spotted a caramel apple gift at a local bakery and then again on Pinterest and knew I had to make something similar with my recipe. It really was so simple to put together and everyone loved them! Such a fun treat! Here’s what you need to get started-
Supplies:
- 1/2 pint mason jar
- caramel dip
- green apple
- clear bag
- twine
- tag
Instructions:
1. Place caramel dip in mason jar. Then put your jar and apple in a bag. Tie with ribbon or twine and add a little note.
Simple as that! Easy peasy!
Enjoy!

Beautiful in its simplicity. And delicious, too, I’m sure.

OK – this is so simple and brilliant at the same time. What a great little snack time gift idea!
Christine Nadolny
Did you make the little pedestal stand too? Love that!
Jamielyn
Nope, found that at Hobby Lobby! Love it! :)

Great idea! I want to make some of these for gifts. Did you still top the dip with toffee bits before putting on the lid?
Jamielyn
Yes, I sprinkled some toffee bits on top. They loved it! :)

What a cute gift idea. I love this. Please link it to my linky party & anything else you have to share. It just went live a little early :) Thanks, Peggy. http://diycraftyprojects.com/2012/10/whatcha-work-up-wednesday-5-linky-parties-are-back.html

Great idea – I’d love to know where you found the little jar?
Trimble
I found these at Walmart
betsy
what kind of caramel is that? It’s so light in colour.
Trimble
She links her recipe. It’s not actually caramel.
Trimble
Do you happen to remember how much of your dip fit in that size Mason jar? Did you use the full batch in one jar? Thanks!
Trimble
In case anyone else is wondering, one batch of the dip recipe will fill about 1 and 1/2 of the half pint jars pictured.

Doesn’t this need to be refrigerated until giving since it’s got cream cheese in it? That would make it hard to give as a teacher gift or such. Just checking because I absolutely love the idea!
Jamielyn
Yes, it’s best to keep it refrigerated until ready to pass out. The cream cheese will be fine up to 12 hours (just like with cinnamon rolls and cream cheese frosting). Hope that helps!
