You've heard of the candy apple but now I want to introduce you to chocolate apples. How about them ... Well, you know! |
How about Them Chocolate Apples ?
Chocolate Rules and Now You've Got the Apples Covered
Fruit and chocolate ... What could be better? There is nothing that reminds me more of Autumn like the unique taste of chocolate apples. Growing up, my parents were very strict about my eating any type of candy. They would never let us eat it. Mom always told me candy would cause tooth rot. During Fall Festival time, I was only allowed to have three pieces of chocolate candy a day. Anymore, my parents said, and all my teeth would fall out.
Not So for Chocolate Apples .. The Fruit Outweighed the Candy
Chocolate apples, however, were the exception. We did not get to have them all the time, but nonetheless we would eat them every year. We would go to the fair where they would have caramel apples and chocolate apples.
Those Delightful Chocolate Apples Were My Choice for Sweets
It was great. The air was crisp, there were rides and games, and each kid got to have one treat. My sister would always have cotton candy, but I would not waste my treat on such trivialities. I would always get a chocolate apple. One time I got a caramel apple instead, but it just did not compare. Nothing tastes like chocolate apples taste!
We lived in that same town
until I was an adult. I remember taking one of my
girlfriends to get chocolate apples at the fair.
She was from a large city so
.... ... a county fair was something totally new to her. The only chocolate apples that she ever eaten growing up were bought from the store. They were prepackaged, cold, and often stale. She had not known the joy of freshly dipped chocolate apples. I was overjoyed to help her with this problem.
Doing Chocolate Apples Right
Chocolate apples, you see, must be done in the right way or there is no point. Unlike normal chocolate covered candies, chocolate apples cannot just sit there on the shelf.
1. You need to start with a big, juicy, gourmet apple.
2. Then you dip it straight into the chocolate.
3. You give it just enough time to start to cool, and then you eat it.
If I wait around for even one day, the candy covered apple is just no good. The apple starts to get mealy and mushy, and the chocolate begins to get brittle and hard. Only freshly dipped chocolate apples will do. If you can't get them fresh at the fair, there is no point in getting them at all.
Chocolate Apples Win Hands Down
I have had many chocolate fruits my life, but the chocolate apple is my favorite. Chocolate covered strawberries can be good, and chocolate cherries can be divine, but none of them can compare. It has to be chocolate covered apples or nothing, and you have to get them in a little town like the one I grew up in.
So, if you are like my girlfriend who have only tasted store bought chocolate apples, then I suggest you rush right out and find your nearest county fair (they still have them, don't they?) abuy yourself that dark treat that only a carnival worker can make. Matter of fact, I am on my way right now to get my Chocolate apple. Now Go >>>>>
