Sticker Shock

Sometimes I like looking through fancy catalogs and sometimes they are tossed unread in the recycle box... so I'm looking at one today -- gourmet candy and I admit they are beautiful... and I come upon the caramel apple section and I thought it might be fun to send to my sister's family for Halloween... that is, until I saw the price.

Here's a picture of one of them (they have many versions of their caramel apples)

This one is dark chocolate and cashews, and I admit it's gorgeous... but the price?

This one, lone apple is $23.99. Couldn't be, kept thinking I was reading it wrong, went to the website and yes, they range in price in this range -- some are even more.

None of youse guys is gettin' caramel apples from me!
