taffy apple
Chewy coated fruit
A taffy apple is an apple on a stick coated with a layer of taffy or caramel, a classic American fair and autumn treat.
Also called a caramel apple or candy apple, though candy apples typically have a hard red coating while taffy apples have a softer, chewier one: We got taffy apples at the harvest festival.
