I'm heading up staff appreciation at our new school this year. Because we're a new school with limited funds, we needed to be a little creative with our first staff appreciation thing. We're trying to do something each month & we came up with something easy & cheap for October - DIY Carmel apples! I was able to do all 80 staff members for about $30 with the help of our local McDonalds! Yeah! I think they turned out pretty cute too! We were also able to get some free appetizer cards from one of the local restaurant managers, so we added a few stickers to the M&M packs for the teachers to find. Those finding the sticker will get one of the free appetizers. So, here's the finished product:
What you'll need:
1 apple
indivdual packages of your favorite candies and/or nuts
caramel sauce (we got ours donated by McDonald's)
goodie bags (I picked 25 for $1 at Dollar tree)
We tied the goodie bags with curling ribbon & attached this poem to it:
This is no trick, just a simple treat.
A little healthy and a little sweet.
Just relax a bit and take a seat
Because we know your job is no small feat.
Thanks for the smiles for each person you meet!
We hope you like caramel apples, they’re yummy to eat!
