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.
