Caramel and Carne Asada

.

If ever you find yourself driving up to Big Bear Lake, CA on a Tuesday or Thursday, I strongly advise you to take the turn off to Blue Jay and stop at Archurro's. Enjoy a cool soda with friends while the smell of your pan seared Carne Asada wafts from the kitchen, and soon from your own plate as you prepare to devour delicous taco after taco without any monetary guilt at $1.50 a pop.

But do save room! Nestled in the back of this cozy restaurant is a candy store. With hand crafted carmel apples and fudge! Usually I shy away from any type of potentially messy food substances, but after sampling my friends apple, I had to purchase my own. The  sour and crunch of the crisp granny smith apple is coated in perfect chewy non-stick carmel...that's right folks- carmel that does not stick to your teeth! How they do it, I don't know. The perfect balance of sour and sweet, crisp and chewy...white chocolate chips and sprinkles... need I say more.
