By the time that season ends on Halloween, Daffy Apple President Phillip Kellogg says the company will have produced 60,000 cases of the sticky treats, compared with 40,000 last fall.
Through the end of the month, look for three varieties of Daffy Apples: red candy, caramel with crunch and caramel with peanuts. They’re $1 to $1.25 apiece at King Soopers, City Markets, Safeway and Wal-Mart Supercenters. By the way, the recipe for the caramel that coats Daffy Apples hasn’t changed since it was developed in 1953.
• If there’s a mead season, we’re at the beginning of it, according to Madoka Myers of Redstone Meadery in Boulder. Myers says that while Redstone’s Mountain Honey Wines are available year-round, they’re most popular during the fall and winter holidays.
Redstone’s major new holiday variety, Vanilla Bean and Cinnamon, is only now beginning to creep onto the shelves of local liquor stores. If you want a bottle, you might have to special-order it.
• Wild Oats brand eggs are now “Certified Humane” by Humane Farm Animal Care, but the status is so new they don’t yet bear the official “certified humane” label. The Boulder-based markets’ eggs come from Hidden Villa Ranch of Fullerton, Calif., the first U.S. producer to earn HFAC certification for its cage-free eggs.
