They say Eve tempted Adam with an apple

Seriously? I mean, apples are nice and all, but I’ve yet to meet one that was worth being kicked out of a dive bar much less the Garden of Eden.

Now, if the story went something like: “When the woman saw that the juicy Granny Smith was coated in rich, buttery caramel then rolled in crushed Butterfinger candy bits, she took some and ate it” … I’d have a much easier time getting behind the story. (And, yes, I know this whole “apple as the forbidden fruit” deal is conjecture since nowhere in the tale is any particular fruit actually named, but why quibble?)

Although the yummies at Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory might not get you kicked out of Paradise, they may lead to a walk of shame at your next Weight Watchers meeting. Trust me – totally worth it.

Their most tempting creations include:

• Tiger Butter Apple: Caramel-covered Granny Smith dipped in a white confection and peanut butter mixture, then drizzled with milk chocolate. $6.95
• Cookies & Cream Apple: Caramel-covered Granny Smith dipped in white confection, then rolled in crushed Oreo cookies. $5.95
• Rocky Road Apple: Caramel-covered Granny Smith rolled in walnuts and marshmallows, then drizzled with milk chocolate and white confection. $6.95

And when they ask if you’d like to have your apple sliced before it goes in the bag, do yourself a favor and say yes – the good stuff goes on thick and can prove cumbersome to the average kitchen knife. (And your patience when all you want to do is sink your teeth into that sucker.)

If these caramel-encased beauties aren’t heavenly enough, take a gander at their candy counter. Chocolate-covered graham crackers, hand-dipped dark chocolate-covered cherries, fistfuls of velvety fudge, sumptuous truffles and let’s not forget the frosty tubs of deluxe ice creamy goodness … Yeah, this is chocolate in Biblical proportions. Amen.
