Where can I buy candy apples wrapped or chocolate dipped strawberries wrapped?

I'm looking to buy candy apples or chocolate dipped strawberries in individual clear bags...where can I get some at a good price?

Thanks!

I venture to say that it would probably be cheaper for you to make them yourself. There are tons of candy supply places that have the chocolate melts and the cellophane bags. Just make sure that you get decent strawberries - the ones with stems look nice. JMO.

Thanks Goldi...I love that you wrote 'I venture to say'...

I didn't want to go the homemade route because I'm not very handy, but maybe my aunt can do them for me.

Any suggestions for ready made places are welcome!

Thanks again.

Buy the candy apples, and make your own chocolate dipped strawberries. I make my own dipped strawberries all the time. Walbaums has the strawberries with extra long stems, and use Ghardelli dark chocolate, it's absolutely delicious and addictive. Total cost for about 24, usually runs me $8, and time spent is less than 15 minutes. If you end up making them, let me know, I'll help you out!!!!! SO MUCH CHEAPER TO MAKE THEM.

Hi, My sister gave candy apples as her gift--she ordered them from Rocky MT candy company--they were great!!!!!
I can find out how much she paid for each one, if you are interested--let me know!
