'My family enjoys chicken and always asks me to bake it this way,' explains Julie Jahn of Decatur, Indiana. 'Sometimes I like to give this dish kid appeal by cutting the chicken into strips before coating with the nut mixture.'
Each layer's better than the last, from the crunchy crust to the sweetened cream cheese, vanilla pudding and, finally, fresh bites of apple topped with caramel and peanuts.
I created this candy by combining my husband's favorite cookie recipe and my mom's caramel dip. These sweets really appeal to kids...plus, they can help make them!—Tamara Holschen, Anchor Point, Alaska
My fun little chocolate chip cookies will be a hit with kids and adults alike. You can coat the caramel with your favorite type of nut, sprinkles or mini chips. I am often requested to brings these to parties.—Tammy Daniels, Batavia, Ohio
