Several years ago, a “high-end” ($$$) candy store where we used to live used to stock these wonderful little apple candies. (I believe they have since closed, but since we are now a 3+ hour drive from there, I’m not even sure of that.)
They were a round ball, about the diameter of a quarter, and bright green, with just a blush of (you guessed it) candy-apple-red on one side.
They were sweet with just a touch of a sour bite and sort of green-apple flavored, but the best part about it was the texture. The outside of the candy was a sugar shell that would yield slightly when bitten before breaking open; the inside was a sweet, apple-flavored gell.
The sensation was actually quite similar to biting into a real apple.
Can anyone tell me what they are called, and if there is a source online from which they may be obtained? We have found something similar which seems to be a gumball; this wasn’t a gum, but they were surely good!
And look under Traditional confectionery & nuts there is a section
called “Wrapped Candy” (NOT the one under sugar free, mind you),
and under that is a link that says “- Fruit Flavored”. Click on that,
the apple candy pictured is on that page.
(Sorry I can’t post a link directly to the page, the web designer for
Choppy Candy has prevented that for some reason.)
