All sorts of confections and nibbles and suckers and colorfully wrapped whimsies receive the adoring attention on Halloween, and just about everyone with a sweet tooth has their ultimate go-to goodie, the treat that always, always makes their flavorful fall line-up.<\/p>\n
But there’s another temptation that boasts a distinguished and decadent role in October snacking, and it just happens to have its own nummy national spotlight on Oct. 31. It’s the caramel apple, an enrobed-in-caramel fruit favorite that can be hefty, toothsome, and a seasonal snack that is both crunchy and gooey with every bite.<\/p>\n
National Caramel Apple Day is Oct. 31, and if you’re looking to indulge, or perhaps put a few caramel apples out for guests at your Halloween party, you’ll want to get your on-a-stick snack soon.<\/p>\n
Littlejohn’s Candies<\/a> at the Original Farmers Market<\/a> has been a mouthwatering must-stop for caramel apple enthusiasts for decades.<\/p>\n Perhaps you favor a classic caramel apple presentation, which is a ripe fruit enticingly enrobed in caramel, with no decorations, nuts, or add-ons to draw from the two central players.<\/p>\n Or maybe you like a bit of frightful flair, with decorations, nuts, and other add-ons that add oomph.<\/p>\n The vintage candy shop is the place, and in October 2026?
