Returning to Betty Jane's

A few weeks ago, Linda and I passed through Dubuque and had hoped to enjoy one of the signs of fall in this part of the country, a Caramel Apple from Betty Jane Candies; we were a week too early. Now that we were back the neighborhood, we stopped by and picked up a couple. It's my understanding that the caramel they use is the Trappistine Creamy Caramels made by the Trappistine Nuns of Our Lady of the Mississippi Abbey Monastery. It had been a while since I'd had a caramel apple but this was a very nice treat.
