There are countless delicious desserts out there — so many, in fact, that it can be overwhelming to choose just one to bring to a holiday party or family event. However, if you want to stand out from the usual apple and pumpkin pies, it might be worth picking something a little unique. You know, an item that will make your friends and family “ooh and ahh” at first sight? For me, that dessert is candy apples.

Not only does this treat bring a touch of nostalgia, but the crisp, juicy apple paired with a sweet, crunchy coating is truly a satisfying contrast in textures. And when it comes to delicious candy apples, QVC offers a standout option that’s been a crowd-pleaser year after year: Mrs. Prindables Large Holiday Apples with Gift Boxes — a favorite of two of our shopping writers. 

What Is the Mrs. Prindables Large Holiday Apples with Gift Boxes?

This holiday gift set features Mrs. Prindables’ signature gourmet candy apples that make great presents (for someone else or yourself). The gift set includes ten holiday-gift boxes along with ten large caramel apples: five triple chocolate chip (made with milk, dark, and white chips, with stockings and Christmas tree candies), and five holiday cinnamon roll (made with cinnamon chips, white chips, cupcake dough pieces, and holiday sequin sprinkles). All apples are individually wrapped, so you can give them out one by one or in a box as big as you want!

Why We Love Mrs. Prindables Large Holiday Apples

“I’m really picky when it comes to apples — it has to be crunchy with absolutely no mushy parts — and this one passed with flying colors,” says commerce writer Morgan, who tried these at QVC’s Foodie Fest. “The tart, juicy interior and the sweet coating on the outside are a match made in heaven. I’m someone who gets a bit overwhelmed when something is too rich and sweet, but the freshness of the apple balances out the caramel perfectly.”

Commerce SEO writer Sarah was also thoroughly impressed by these apples, despite not being a candy apple fan. “When I tried these at Foodie Fest, I couldn’t believe how much I loved them. While they’re both delicious, the cinnamon roll ones are on another level. Think of the satisfying crunch you get with a fresh apple. Then think of the deliciousness of a homemade cinnamon roll. Now put them together. Truly heavenly! Don’t tell anyone, but I may have snuck a second sample!”

If you’ve been thinking about getting a gift for a family member, friend, teacher, or neighbor this holiday season, they won’t be disappointed by Mrs. Prindables Large Holiday Apples With Gift Boxes!
