To enjoy, simply unwrap the caramel apple and take a bite. The caramel is designed to adhere well to the apple, so you can expect a good balance of fruit and confection with each bite.

How to keep the rest

If you plan to eat it soon, a cool pantry might suffice for a short period, but refrigeration is recommended for longer storage.
