The best candy apple of my life

A coworker of mine went to a conference in Florida a few months back. He returned to work and a few days later received a package in the mail. It was from one of the vendors that was represented at the conference. The vendor took the liberty of shipping out candy apples to people who were at the conference.

So, my coworker took the apple and put it in the little fridge between our desks to enjoy later. It had been in there for a few weeks and today he opened the fridge to put something in it and I noticed the candy apple.

I said to him "When are you going to eat that apple?"

He replied "I don't know. Do you want it?"

We pulled the apple out of the box. We were amazed. It wasn't one of these kind that you'd pick up at the county fair. This thing was impressive. There was no way I was going to eat it all so I took a few bites and handed it back to him. It was the best candy apple I have ever put in my mouth.

I decided that I might buy one so I asked him where this vendor got the apples. He pointed me to Amy's Candy Kitchen in Wisconsin. Amy is serious about her apples. I began to drool over what she has to offer. Only...I don't think $15 for a candy apple is in my budget. Anyway, below is a picture of the apple I had. It was the Dunked Caramel Apple with Belgian Milk Chocolate. I'd love to try the dark chocolate one too.

My goodness that was quite the apple. I was a bit skeptical at first but one bit into that confectionery delight and my blood sugar skyrocketed. This is one good apple that has a lot of love put into it. While $15 for an apple may be a bit pricey for me these things will definitely impress for the business recipient.

Of course, if you work the candy apple into your budget, then you can purchase it and not feel a bit guilty about it. Sounds like it would make a great gift for a long distance relative??
