"national candy apple day" news and stories

Does anyone give candy apples to kids on Halloween anymore? I remember getting one once when I was trick or treating. I think they gave it to me either wrapped in a napkin or maybe just by itself, just thrown in the bag. Not sure what I was supposed to do with it after the other candy got on it. I'm talking about the sugar glazed coating, not the caramel variety.

Today is National Candy Apple Day, which fits nicely on the schedule since we're doing Candy Day all day at Slashfood and it also happens to be Halloween.

I like caramel apples more. They're one of those foods you eat a lot less of when you become an adult, but I think this fall I'll make them again.
