By MONICA CANE 209 correspondent Dipping five-hundred crisp Granny Smith apples in a vat of thick, gooey caramel for a school fundraiser is all part of a day’s work at Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory at 303 E. Yosemite Ave. in downtown Manteca. But caramel is only the beginning, as there are 25 different apple creations to choose from such as Apple Pie which covers the caramel in sweet white confection, brown sugar and cinnamon or the fun, tasty creation, Worms and Dirt which uses cookie crumbs and gummies worms to cover the apple. Other creations include caramel apples wrapped with M&Ms , nuts, sprinkles, toffee, milk or dark chocolate along with an old-fashion favorite, Red Cinnamon Candy Apple, which is hard to find these days unless you live in Santa Cruz.
