Over to the right in “Snippets of Life”, I commented last week that I suddenly had a craving for a chocolate creme egg. I had the wrong name and still not sure of the right name, but when I was a child we always had this rather large chocolate egg, dark chocolate on the outside and a creamier, lighter chocolate with nuts inside. It was very rich and I remember being allowed to have a small slice daily. It was in a box with a cellophane window. That’s my memory – I don’t always get the details :) !

Saturday, running a few errands, I stopped at a drug store that I knew would have a variety of Easter goodies. I don’t know… drugstore lighting, the garish colors – and no “box” as I remembered. Everything I saw just made me think of old, too sugary candy and I was not tempted.

I’m not sure of the exact date, but I think it is approaching a year since “ The Apple Trolley” opened in Bigfork. In a little retail space on the way out of town to the south, a young woman and her mother opened a “gourmet carmel apple” shop.

And it is thriving – Big Time! And at $5 an apple. I am thrilled for them and for Bigfork and for me – delicious treat, nice owners, pleasant little shop – it is fun.

Standing in the drugstore with everything looking unappealing to me, I suddenly thought of “ The Apple Trolley“…

My Easter candy.

**Lest you think they will not make it with $5 caramel apples, they were nearly sold out when I stopped just before noon on Saturday. And they had made extra for Easter, along with special bags and baskets available. Good on them!
