NO– it’s not Veggies..
It’s……
Let’s get honest here, if you’ve eaten way too many mini chocolate bars that you were planning on giving out as treats; you can always blame it on the “bulky snowsuit” under your clothes. Well, you could have years ago– but not now– you’ve got nuttin’ now!
I like the idea of candy apples much more than the apples themselves; the caramel variety is almost impossible to get a grip on, the caramel slipping across the smooth apple skin as you plow it with your teeth. And I’m never quite sure how to approach the hard red candy kind; there is no way to be delicate when sweet shards are shattering all over your face, sticking to your cheeks.
I may as well admit that I don’t generally make the caramel kind because those little square Kraft caramels and I have a history; namely I was completely addicted to them a few years back. Wait! I still am! Their little wrappers used to be everywhere, and I used to get panicky whenever my stash ran low. I had to quit cold turkey, but judging by that dish in my kitchen, the addiction is back. I walked into The Cheddar Stop yesterday and saw these creatures of goodness hanging out on Judy’s counter. That is right– just above the fudge. Judy??? You are killing me!!! LOLOL. Look at these apples. If you are not going to eat them they would make a nice gift. That is — if you can get them to your destination without snacking on them.
Sponge Toffee
Then right next to it was– THIS! This time close to the hand dipped chocolates! For something similar to a Crunchie bar (but far better), dip cooled chunks into melted chocolate and set on waxed paper until set. Remember the giant sponge toffee at the candy store where they would break it up into chunks to purchase? So put those mini bars away and go and visit Judy. Give her a hug while you are there. Got to love the Judy– she does so much for our community you do not know about. Thank you Judy for what you do!
Oh yeah– if your chocolate level is that high might as well come home with one of these below!!
