How do you like them apples?

.

The Colonel recently told me that I don't eat enough fruit.

Problem solved, an order of Mrs. Prindables fabulous caramel apples arrived today. *wink*

The Spring sampler included caramel covered pretzels. I'm not a great fan of pretzels, but they do look so tasty with those pastel coloured smarties.

I love American food, especially the stuff which is really, really bad for one's health, sadly.

Caramel Apples. That's right, caramel. Not toffee apples like we have in Australia, although they have those here too. I am talking about fresh, crisp apples, covered in a creamy caramel, then dipped in chocolate pieces or some other fancy treats.

I have seen these on Qvc.com and even at the Goofy Candy store at Disney. My interest and appetite were both certainly piqued. With Christmas approaching I was able to justify purchasing some of the pricey Mrs Prindable's apples as gifts. Some chocolate enrobed caramels were ordered additionally for I am an avid fan of those buttery, golden temptations.

Eating fruit has never been so appealing.

There are times when I just love living in the USA, today is one of them. Oh America with your splendid but unhealthy epicurian delights, I love you.

I wonder if these succulent morsels will survive long enough to be given away, or if this Countess will be found in a semi-concious state from some kind of sweetie overdose. Hopefully I will not be found sprawled on the bathroom floor wearing a cheap K-mart nightie after over-indulging (it's so very tempting) in the surfeit of sugary goodies.

Lastest update: Already feeling crapulous from the superabundance of caramel.
