An Apple A Day...

...of course we all know the old adage, keeps the doctor away. But that is entirely correct. There are some definite health benefits to trying a delicious gourmet caramel apple. Let's learn a little bit about the quality that goes into our apples. We use only jumbo, premium tart and firm granny smith (green) apples with every batch of caramel we hand-make. Our heavenly caramel is rich and buttery consisting of quality gourmet products that undergo an even slow heat to create that melt in your mouth consistency. Our toppings include milk, dark and white Belgian chocolates from brussels, premium roasted and buttered nuts, and elegant candies. Each apple is hand-dipped and drizzled by one of our kitchen's chocolatiers which is made fresh and daily to ship to you.

Here are some health benefits to dark chocolate:

- Lower high blood pressure - Epicatechin in dark chocolate (high cocoa content) is a member of a group of compounds called plant flavenoids, which help prevent cholesterol.

Nuts:

- Nuts are a great source of protein. They are high in fiber and antioxidants such as Vitamin E. Nuts are also rich in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats (omega 3 - the good fats/oils) which have all been shown to lower LDL cholesterol.

Two 'NEW' gourmet apple treats!

Starting this week we brought two new gourmet apples to fruition here at Amy's. The first treat is a classic summertime dessert pasted on a jumbo granny smith apple. If you haven't guessed yet, it's our smore galore apple. This decadent piece of art undergoes an ultimate enrobing in our award winning buttery kettle caramel. After that, we then pack from top to bottom fresh premium marshmallows and graham cracker bits. The final touch is a plunge in our Belgian chocolates with an accent in the same chocolate. You can view this beauty below.



The second addition to our kitchen is our peanut butter pretzel caramel apple w/Belgian chocolate. There is no question how delicious this is to every peanut butter lover! Once dipped in our caramel, we roll, pack, and imprint our premium pretzel pieces all over it making sure the final dip and drizzle of Belgian chocolate makes quite the peanut butter and chocolate combo! Of course we do issue a warning with our apples... They might be too big to finish all by yourself :).
