Kandi apel...



Every autumn/winter this candy apple will be around, usually during the halloween...three favourite candy apples would be red sugar glaze, caramel coated and this one, choc candy...



...love the choc one rather than the sugar glaze and caramel which were too sweet for my tooth...
