You will need:

1 box Drake’s Cakes Coffee Cake Mini Cake Bites

½ cup room temperature salted sweet cream butter

1 tsp milk

1/8 tsp vanilla extract

1 TB prepared spiced hot apple cider, cooled to room temperature (I used a spice apple cider mix and followed the directions on the package)

2 1/4 cups powdered sugar

1 drop of electric neon green gel food coloring

Lime green sanding sugar sprinkles

1 cup prepared caramel dip (can be found in your grocery store’s produce section or on Amazon here)

½ cup finely chopped nuts

Wooden stir sticks

Directions for Mini Caramel Apple Cakes:

With a hand mixer, whip the butter, milk, vanilla and prepared spiced apple cider for about 30 seconds until smooth.

Slowly add in the powdered sugar while mixing.

Fold in the green food coloring

Place buttercream frosting in the refrigerator for 2 hours or overnight to set.

Scoop the frosting with a small cookie scoop and place on top of the mini cakes.

Sprinkle the green sanding sugar on top

Using a small knife or a piping bag, pipe the caramel dip around the bottom of the frosting scoop.

Sprinkle the chopped nuts on the piped caramel.

Cut the wooden sticks to the desired size

Place the wooden stick in the center of the frosting scoop.

Now you have the cutest Mini Caramel Apple Cakes! They taste just like a caramel apple with a hint of apple, cinnamon and caramel! This is the perfect treat for fall, and these no-bake desserts would be a fun addition to your Thanksgiving dinner!
