Niles, Ill.-based Affy Tapple, manufacturer of the original packaged taffy apple, has ventured into the candy and cookie category with three packaged sweet treats sold under the company name. Pretzel Bites are crunchy pretzel pieces coated in premium milk chocolate and decorated with rainbow non-pareils. Mini Sandwich Cookies are bite-size chocolate sandwich cookies drenched in rich milk chocolate. And, of course, the company must have a caramel product. Homemade Caramels is the same caramel used on its famous apples but now in a bite-size format.
