Easter caramel apples may seem, at first blush, like an unconventional Easter gift, but think about it: nowhere in the Bible does it specifically say, “Thou shalt only purchase chocolate on Easter.” Why buy exclusively fatty cocoa treats when you can liven up your treat baskets with the crunch and healthy freshness of a Granny Smith apple [coated in a layer of gooey caramel]? Are you convinced? If so, Swiss Maid Fudge will ship Easter caramel apples directly to your door.

Swiss Maid Fudge, of Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin, is a small candy shop that has been family-run for two generations. The store distinguishes itself from its competition by hewing closely to the old-world values and family recipes that have been its bread-and-butter since its inception as a business.

All Swiss Maid Easter caramel apples [and all the store's other varieties of treats, for that matter] are made using time-tested European-style candy production methods. While most Easter candy is made on huge, impersonal production lines in industrial factories, Swiss Maid Fudge still takes the time to make its Easter caramel apples and other treats using old-fashioned copper kettles, iron stoves, and open gas fires. It’s a candy production method that has worked flawlessly for decades, and Swiss Maid sees no reason to alter it.

Another way Swiss Maid differentiates itself from its competitors is in its insistence upon using only the best, most natural products in all its candy recipes. Look at the ingredients list on any commercial candy packaging and you’ll see immediately how exceptional this is. Where industrial candy makers rely on exotic preservatives and artificial flavors to make the taste of their candy palatable, Swiss Maid uses fresh, sweet Wisconsin butter, real heavy cream, actual chocolate, and natural vanilla in all its products, including its Easter caramel apples.

Since Swiss Maid makes all its Easter caramel apples itself, the company is able to manufacture a wide variety of different flavors to please any palate. Rocky Mountain Easter caramel apples come coated not only with caramel, but with white chocolate and milk chocolate chunks, and roasted almonds. Pecan Caramel Easter caramel apples add delicious pecans to the standard caramel apple formula, for an additional nutty crunch.

Swiss Maid Fudge also does a brisk business in fudge [it is, after all, in their name], and will gladly ship any of their many varieties in time for Easter. Their Dark Chocolate Nut fudge, for instance, is perfect for lovers of deep, rich chocolate. Cookies and Cream fudge comes laced with chunks of real Oreos, for the cookie lover in your life.

Swiss Maid Fudge accepts online orders, and ships anywhere in the country. They guarantee that all Easter caramel apples will arrive as fresh and delicious as they were on the day they left Swiss Maid’s kitchens.
