After our amazing La Hacienda de San Angel dinner in June, I wanted to grab a sweet treat before we set up shop for our first ever viewing of Illuminations. Yup. I've never been good at stopping to watch the fireworks. But, I'm working on changing that!
As I was saying - I wanted to grab a treat, so I left Adam and Noah to find a viewing spot and I ran to the German Pavilion to check out the new-ish Karamell Kuche. We had such an amazing candied apple from the Candy Cauldron in Downtown Disney in June 2010, that I just knew that the werther's caramel apple had to be better than anything.
I purchased the apple and ran out as the music was starting. I started to search for Adam and found him in time to watch the whole thing - amazing, btw.
As for the apple? Eh. We didn't eat it immediately - we didn't have any room for it, but as soon as we got back to our resort and got Noah to sleep, we dug in. And, sadly, we both wanted the apple from the Candy Cauldron. Something was missing. Maybe it was the overwhelming crunch of sugar that was missing, but something wasn't right. It was fine, but not amazing.
If you're headed to the German Pavilion's candy shop, stop by and take pictures of all the beautiful treats. I've heard that the majority of them are outstanding - we just picked the wrong one!
Has anyone had better experiences at Karamell Kuche? What has been your favorite treat?
Yeah those are one of absolute favorite treats at WDW!
ReplyDeleteSounds yummy to me, but I can imagine being a little disappointed when you compare it to the other apple which sounds divine.

The German pavilion has THE BEST soft pretzels EVER!! When we were there a couple years ago, we bought my nephew one. A few minutes later he didn't have it anymore and I asked if he ate it that quickly (they are huge). He said that he got full so he threw it away. We all contemplated jumping in the trash after it!!
ReplyDeleteThe caramel corn there is to die for!! Last time we were there, they had just made a batch so it was still warm!! Super yummy!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE IllumiNations! I'm sorry about the apple. I did go in to Karamell Kuche, but didn't buy anything... wasn't hungry at the time. I'll have to add it to my list of things to try/ do!
ReplyDeleteMy FAVORITE nighttime spectacular at WDW is Illuminations. I love the music, and I really can't get enough of it! Good to know there's a new store in Germany too!
ReplyDeleteI tried their pecan caramel square, awesome. I also took home some dark chocolate salted caramels that were really good as well. I am not a candy apple person so no comment on those!
ReplyDeleteWe had the same response. I wasn't wowed. I keep going back though:P
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I love La Hacienda de San Angel! We had it for the first time during our last trip and December and will be having our anniversary dinner there in just a couple of weeks!! We are excited, the food is amazing!!!
