Romantic Summer Nights & Gourmet Caramel Apples

During the summer months, many museums sponsor half-price performance nights.  Your town’s Arboretum usually hosts ‘Art in the Park’ nights which are concerts where you can check out the lush, botanical scenery while enjoying award-winning concertos. 

This would be a perfect opportunity for you to take your significant other out for an inexpensive ‘date-night.’ 

Since the price of admission is usually half-price after 5:00 p.m. at the museum and anywhere from $10 - $15 per car at the Arboretum, you can make this botanical excursion a treat; that even your rugged husband will enjoy.  But you’ll need to pack a few things first.

You’ll need the usual picnic essentials; basket, blanket, sunscreen, water, a few sandwiches and a little added treat - gourmet caramel apples. 

 

Keep it simple girl and make a few sandwiches.  Nothing fancy unless you want to splurge on some Dijon mustard and olives for the sandwiches. 

Next go to our website and order a Big Flower Gift Box.  This box includes Double Chocolate Pecan and Chocolate Cashew gourmet caramel apples, a package of saucers and napkins, two signature pretzels and a pack of playing cards.

Once your order arrives, be sure to the apples refrigerated until at least 30 minutes before you leave,  cut into slices and place them in a covered container and….

You’re done!  You’ve created a romantic, botanical get-a-way for under $80!*

Now its time to enjoy the festivities, flowers, and your man girlfriend! 

*Price is dependent upon your apple purchase.

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.
