Grrr...


I despise candied apples! That is, I hate those obnoxious fake colored candy creations that are touted as being a healthy treat for kids in the fall. Take a cheap apple and coat it with artificially colored pure sugar candy and wrap it all up in celephane. By the time someone eats it that apple is who knows how old and half rotten already from the stick that is stuck through it. Have you ever looked at the condition of some of these apples after the child eats all the candy off it? Disgusting! They generally look pretty bad.


Contrast that with a bright healthy fresh apple dipped in homemade buttery caramel and eaten immediately. No contest.

(No offense to those of you who love these things. Somebody just gave the kids these awful candied apples today and I cringed all the while they ate the sticky half decayed things. Yuck!)
