Piñata Apples – A Surprise for your Taste Buds
Piñata apples were developed in Europe in the 1970s by cross-breeding the Golden Delicious, Orange Pippin, and Duchess of Oldenburg varieties. Stemilt Growers, a leading fruit company in Wenatchee, Washington, holds the exclusive rights to this variety. Piñata Apples are stripy red over an orange background. A blend of high sugar and high acid levels gives the apples their special flavor, with a unique tropical twist. Excellent for eating out-of-hand and great for both baking and poaching. Limited availability. $1.79 lb • save 50¢ lb with Club DLM card through Sunday, January 25.

New! Zingerman’s Zzang! Bars
Made by hand at Zingerman’s Bakehouse in Ann Arbor, Michigan, our friend Charlie Frank uses the best ingredients you can pronounce. The Original starts with a honey nougat made with natural peanut butter rolled up in caramel made from muscovado brown sugar. The biggest and best peanuts they can find come next, and the whole endeavor’s finished off with a hand dip into a rich bath of 64% dark Ecuadorian chocolate. Or try the What the Fudge? Bar, made with creamy layers of chocolate fudge, muscovado brown sugar caramel, and malted milk cream, all stacked up and dipped in chocolate. My favorite is the Ca$hew Cow! made with homemade cashew brittle (cashews, sugar, fresh butter, and real vanilla) with crisped rice and butter-roasted cashews. It’s all dipped in very dark chocolate from Ecuador. Crispy, sweet, nutty, and delicious.

Cherry Yogurt Almond Cake
Be the first to try this scrumptious new coffee cake from our Bakery department. Created by one of our bakers, Betty Ganota, we begin with our moist yogurt cake, then add sweet/tart cherries and slivered almonds, then top it with a cooked butter icing. Great for that cold morning with a cup of tea or coffee!
