DIVINE CARAMEL PEAR CRISP
Steps:
- For the caramel sauce, in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, salt and cream. Melt over low heat. Once all ingredients are melted and combined, increase the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a boil. Boil for 10 minutes. There's no need to stir but watch the heat - if it seems as though the mixture might be burning on the bottom (which can often happen if you are using a pan that isn't heavy-bottomed), reduce the heat. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Set aside to cool slightly (the caramel sauce can be made up to a week in advance - if using it in the recipe, warm slightly before adding to the pears).
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 8 1/2-inch by 12-inch pan with cooking spray (I know that's a random size that I happen to have - if you don't have that size, use something close like a 9X13-inch pan).
- Toss the pears in a large bowl with the lemon juice, flour and cinnamon. Pour 1 cup of the caramel sauce over the pears and stir to combine well. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan.
- For the topping, in a medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, flour, oats, cinnamon, and salt. Toss the pieces of butter in with the ingredients and use a pastry blender, two knives, your fingers, or anything else to cut the butter in until the mixture is crumbly. Spread the topping evenly over the pears.
- Bake the crisp until the edges are bubbling and the top has deepened in color, 45-50 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 30 minutes. The crisp can be served warm or at room temperature.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream and remaining caramel sauce.

CARAMEL PEARS
Try caramel pears instead of caramel apples this Halloween or fall! We used a shortcut to make our caramel sauce - simply microwave soft caramel candies with some half-and-half and get dipping! Pouring your caramel sauce into a wide mug and dipping your pears directly inside it also saves you the hassle of a messy cleanup afterwards.

MOUTHWATERING MICE
Steps:
- For the caramel: In a heavy-bottomed 4-quart saucepan, bring 1/3 cup plus 1 1/2 tablespoons water, the sugar and corn syrup to a boil, wiping the sides of pan with a wet pastry brush occasionally until the mixture turns a dark amber color. Carefully and slowly add the heavy cream, stirring with a whisk, then add the butter, vanilla and salt. Bring back to a boil and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Cool the caramel for 10 minutes, then add the orange oil and food coloring. Cool completely before using.
- For the gummy tails: In a small liquid measuring cup, bloom the gelatin in 1/2 cup cold water for 5 minutes. Warm the mixture in a microwave on high until the mixture is liquid and smooth, 15 seconds. Add the orange oil, mixing it in well.
- For the shells: Temper the chocolate. Fill the mouse molds with the chocolate and knock them carefully on a hard surface to release any air bubbles. Pour out the excess chocolate back into the bowl of tempered chocolate.
- Scrape the flat portion of the mold to clean off the excess chocolate. Cool the mouse shells to harden completely.
- Place the cold caramel in a piping bag, with a small hole cut in the end. Pack the pumpkin seeds into the body cavities of the chocolate shells, then pipe in the caramel until the filling is 1/16-inch below the top. Pour more tempered chocolate over the filling, and scrape the excess again, then let cool and set up completely. Carefully dig out any chocolate that may have gotten into the tail portion of each mouse mold. Clean them with cheese cloth until shiny. Pour the liquid gelatin mixture into the tail portion of each mouse mold. Let cool and set up completely. Release the mice from their molds by gently tapping the mold, right-side up, until they all come out. If any of the gelatin tails do not adhere to their chocolate bodies, use a small amount of tempered chocolate to glue them back on.
