Pecan Bear Apple

Alright……I know this looks very sweet and must contains lots of sugar.

But you know -- life may never be perfect: delicious food is usually not healthy; and healthy food usually tastes like wood!!!

Well, sometimes…...we should give ourselves a treat.

To be honest, I am always fascinated by the apple covered with caramel and pecan. This cute fancy apple cost me USD $5.88 (about $194 NT) from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory in Tanger Outlet Center, Tuscola, IL. (If I remember correctly, there is another one in Edinburgh Premier Outlet.) Well, what an apple!!! This equals to 5 Fuji apples from Walmart.

Slice it, and you can see that it's actually a green apple inside. Green apples usually taste more sour than red ones. Maybe that's the key to match the sourness with the sweetness from chocolate and caramel.

Taste: The first bite comes from a little sour apple juice with the white icing which soon melts in your mouth. Once you start to chew, the caramel and the apple seem to "DANCE" in your mouth while the chocolate and pecan are "SINGING" ……smoothing like an orchestra playing Mozart.


Suggestion: A little water will be fine if needed, not tea! Tea will prevent you from absorbing the iron in the apple.
