Caramel apples, chocolate

Too Sweet is a new caramel apple and chocolate specialty shop from the owners (and next-door neighbors) of Tutti Frutti frozen yogurt on Balboa Island. Nadia Bakho and Radim Konecny created Too Sweet in honor of Nadia’s love for caramel apples and chocolate. And they’re all for offering delicious treats at a reasonable price.

Too Sweet specializes in homemade fudge; an array of caramel and candy covered apples; chocolate-dipped strawberries; gourmet chocolates and truffles; and homemade treats such as s’mores and chocolate peanut butter sandwiches.

Their decadent fudge flavors include chocolate, chocolate walnut, chocolate peanut butter, rocky road, vanilla, vanilla walnut and vanilla peanut butter. Gift baskets for the holidays are available in a variety of styles and size to fit all occasions — and budgets.

Too Sweet also offers custom orders for companies, schools and corporate parties. It’s open 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily. Tutti Frutti and Too Sweet are at 302 and 302B Marine Ave. For more information, call (949) 723-0223.
