Concord Foods Offers “The Classic Halloween Treat”
Home-made Caramel Apples

Record numbers of American families will be enjoying home-made caramel apples during Halloween 2007. Concord Foods, the manufacturer of the well known CARAMEL APPLE WRAP KIT reports record orders for this year.

Concord Foods CARAMEL APPLE WRAP KIT is easy to use. Simply wrap a fresh apple in a sheet of Concord’s premium caramel and bake. You will have a delicious tasting, homemade caramel apple in minutes; which is especially great for Halloween. Each kit includes 5 caramel discs and wooden sticks.

Concord Foods CARAMEL APPLE WRAP KITS, remind consumers of a time when families cooked more homemade meals and purchased fewer ready-to-eat foods. Families prefer homemade caramel apples instead of the pre-made packaged versions because they are fresher and the caramel tastes so much better. “Halloween is a special time of year,” according to Charles Olins, Vice President Sales and Marketing for Concord Foods; “and people want the best tasting treat they can get. You can choose your own fruit and you know that your caramel apple must be fresh because you have made it yourself!”

At this time of year, Concord Foods also sells the MICROWAVE CARAMEL APPLE KIT. This kit includes a 14.0 oz tub of caramel and 6 wooden sticks. Just heat up the container, dip the apples and they are ready to eat. Consumers can dress up their apples by adding peanuts or candy pieces. Adds Charles Olins, “Whether you use our caramel wraps or microwave kits, you can compare homemade apples to pre-packaged caramel apples and just taste the difference. We will be supplying more kits than ever in 2007”.
