Gourmet Caramel Apples For Your Wedding Menu!

What’s on your wedding menu?   Traditionally, you’ll find extravagant fruit and veggie trays. The price for an average fruit tray at Wal-Mart ranges between $15 to $18.  Considering you’ll have at least 150 to 200 guests, this could cost well over $350 to $450 - just for fruit!


Why not take a non-traditional approach and use part of your menu budget on gourmet caramel apples?  It’s a fun, whimsical way to indulge your guests without breaking the bank.  Here’s how:

Simply purchase several of our ‘Triple Delights’, a few more of our ‘Chocolate Threesomes’, a few of our ‘Chocolate Twosomes’, and our ‘Pretty In Pink’ for the bride-to-be. 

Buy a few bags of grannie smith apples, honeydew, and grapes or be creative and select fruit for your taste palette.

Once you have your store bought fruit sliced, open your gourmet caramel apples.
Slice them into at least 8 slices per apple.

Next, get a decorative, preferably a 11’ x 4’ or a 16 x 5 ½’ bright white plate and place the store bought fruit in two’s and then place a slice of the gourmet candy apple on top.

Repeat this step depending on the amount of guests.


You now have a culinary delicacy all while creating a decorative dish for your wedding guests!  You go girl!  You did it—on budget and in style.

Delicious Decor For Your Party-Hosting Needs!

You’ve been chosen to host the neighborhood housing association meeting or perhaps you’ve been deemed by your pregnant sister to host her baby shower.  You’re low on time, you really don’t know how to decorate and you have no idea what to feed your guests.  Not to worry!  Richland Gourmet Apples to the rescue with our step-by-step designer/décor/delicious solution to your party-hosting needs.

First , once you’ve determined how many guest will be attending, go to our website and order a few of our apple baskets.  This will serve as the place setting for your serving table and can also be used on the gift table as well.

Second , be sure to order a few of our ‘Chocolate Threesomes’, a few of the ‘Chocolate Twosomes’, and don’t forget to buy our ‘Pretty In Pink’ for the mom-to-be. 

Now you can distribute them liberally throughout the room.

Third, go to the market and purchase a bag of ‘Grannie Smith Apples.’  Once your Richland Gourmet Apple order arrives, take the apples you purchased from the supermarket and cut into individual slices.

Once you have your store-bought apples sliced, open at least two of your gourmet caramel apples. Slice them into at least 8 slices per apple.

Finally, get a decorative, preferably 16’ x 5 ½’ bright white plate and place the store bought apples in two’s and then place a slice of the gourmet caramel apple on top.  Just be an apple chef girl and decorate that plate!  Repeat depending on the amount of apples you’ve purchased.
