Choco-peppermint mug cake

A tried-and-true Halloween party favorite, the caramel apple is perhaps one of the best ideas in history. Cloyingly sweet caramel tempered by a crisp, tart apple - whoever thought this up was a genius. Try it with pears, too, for a more sophisticated twist on this childhood favorite.
