New Flavors! Invent Your Own Caramel Apple Swirl Sundae!
on Monday, October 29, 2018
A perfect mixture of sweet and tart, a caramel apple is a scrumptious reminder that autumn has arrived. Halloween without caramel apples just isn’t right, but the caramel apple wasn’t even invented until the 1950s, way after the beginnings of Halloween celebrations. As a matter of fact, it was the happy byproduct of leftover Halloween candy that brought the accidental invention of this sticky fall treat.
Caramel apples were invented in the 1950s by Kraft Foods employee Dan Walker, who decided to melt the excess caramels from Halloween sales and simply added apples. The rest is history. Caramel apples were made by hand for the first decade after its invention. In 1960, Vito Raimondi of Chicago, Illinois made and patented the first automated caramel apple machine after finding that hand-dipping caramel apples was all too tiring while working in his uncle William Raimondi’s candy shop. The company is now the largest producer of machine-dipped, singly-packaged caramel apples.
