Unwrap caramels and place in a bowl with milk, heat in microwave oven for about 2-3 minutes, stir once.  Remove from microwave oven and let cool for a few minutes.  Quickly dip and roll apples in caramel mixture, set each apple on cookie sheet with sticks facing upward.  Let cool and caramel get firmed up.  You can place the cookie sheet of apples in the refrigerator for 5 to 10 minutes to help the caramel firm up.
