What a treat!

Yesterday, my dad dropped by for a few minutes on his way to a meeting, and brought a treat I had not had since I was seven years old. It was a salted, dark chocolate, caramel covered apple, and it was huge! Apparently, an acquaintance he had helped sent a couple of them from a chocolate shop to his home, and he brought one to me (he is watching his sugar so he did not eat one). It was so large I couldn’t eat it all in one sitting. The salted dark chocolate covered the layer of caramel, and oh, it was such a treat. I only wish I had taken a picture!
When was the last time you had a treat you simply hadn’t had in years?

That really sounds so good. I haven't had any kind of candy apples in ages but now I'm tempted for one.

I have to stay away from such sweets as that
it's bad enough I have sodas sitting in my
storage room that I can't have.

@AmbiePam yea they can scold some 1
that doesn't know what it can do to them
but not think to tell the person what to do
on how to control it & that's not right.

That must have been lovely! Sweet of your dad to bring it to you. Treat I haven't had in years, nothing springs readily to mind.

Was the apple baked? The only thing I can think of that I get to eat what I used to as a kid are the ber fruits that grow on the tree touching my gate.

What a nice treat, your Dad is so generous.
We had a ham a few weeks ago, something that I haven't had in years, it was like a treat to me because after eating it I didn't suffer a headache, which was the reason why I stopped eating it to begin with.

@AmbiePam That is awesome. I would love that too.
I think the one thing I miss from all those years ago is popcorn balls. I always got at least two during Christmas. They would be in the treat bag after the Christmas pageant, and one other time. I can't eat anything like that anymore. No teeth. I need a full set of choppers to eat popcorn balls or apples.

I love apples like but do not eat them now. Since I have been on my weight loss journey I gave up things like that and snacks. Now, I just drink in between meals. It was probably about 6 years ago I hate stuff like that. I used to love snacks and treats like that. Enjoy it. I also do not eat apples anymore because they do not agree with me so gave them up along with other things.

Hubby bought me some deli corned beef last year for my birthday. What a treat. I hadn't had any REAL corned beef for years. Thank you so much for your card! Have a lovely day.
