The Caramel, Chocolate, Peanut Apple

The Catered Apple
These little pig apples are too damn cute not to share. Consider purchasing a box of pre-made goodies if you don’t feel like tying on your apron. Haters gonna hate, but we’re just gonna shake (and eat candy coated caramel apples). They’re still homemade, just not by you.
