I omitted the twigs, but it was a great jump off point!! I used crushed walnuts and also a drizzling of melted white chocolate too. They were a wonderful hit at our first fall gathering!! I was surprised at how easy it was to do, I'll never buy a caramel apple again, now that I know that I can successfully do it with ease!!
