Obuoliukai Candy

Obuoliukai, Lithuanian for apples, is a juicy jelly sweet filled to bursting with a puree of the finest Lithuanian apples. Lithuanians take their apples seriously—the country boasts countless orchards with over a thousand different apple species, and each September is apple season. Here’s a little secret: when you eat PERGALÉ’s Obuoliukai, you’re eating like Lithuanian medieval rulers and noblemen! Hundreds and hundreds of years ago, these fancy guys all loved eating ‘Apple Cheese,’ a sticky, chewy, sweet treat made only with apples and sugar, much like the sweet you’ll try—except yours is dusted with a layer of soft cocoa… yum! A sweet holiday tradition in Lithuania is on Kūčios (Christmas Eve), one apple is sliced into multiple pieces, one for each person at the dinner table, to promote sharing and love. Try and see how many people can take a bite of one Obuoliukai… even if you want to keep it all for yourself!
