I was given some Aplets and Cotlets years ago from relatives from Cashmere. They were delicious. I was thrilled when I found your website. I just put in a big order for Christmas gifts and of course, myself. Keep up the good work!

I first tasted your product in Zimbabwe Africa. a gift sent to my Mother (Viola (Mabie) Wilkins) She grew up in Monitor Washington, and went to high school in Cashmere. Her Father ran an apple orchard in Monitor. She then went to Zimbabwe in 1940 as a Missionary, and passed away there at the age of 93. I came to live with my brother and his wife here in Texas in 2008. Yesterday I was in Ross San Antonio and found 2 boxes of your delicious product. I just want to say thank you for making such a delicious candy, also a lovely reminder of my Mother. God Bless you, K Anne Wilkins.

My mother grew up in Bothell, Washington and her favorite candy is Aplets & Cotlets. She moved to Ohio in 1943 and we (her son and daughter) have enjoyed them since 1943... and Mom since about 1936. I buy 10 to 15 boxes every Christmas time here in Ohio.

Make a memory...share these candies

Comments:
Have had these since I was a child and they have become a family favorite. They remind me of the delicate candies we had in Europe, like Turkish delight, which was mentioned in the movie Narnia by C.S.Lewis. So when the children sit and watch the movie during Christmas they each get a few of these delightful candies.
Make a memory.

The Aplets and Cotlets are very good but not my favorite product from Liberty Orchards. I find them a bit boring and prefer the sparklers.

When my daughter was in gradeschool we read "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe." We found this candy at that time, almost 20 years ago, and shared several boxes with her entire fourth-grade class. I had been looking everywhere for the "Turkish Delight" mentioned in the book. The Aplets and Cotlets have been a favorite ever since -- especially during the holilday season. They provide a happy memory every time we enjoy them.

I have been enjoying these fine candies for years. They are one of the only products available here from Liberty Orchards. I pick up a box a few times each year to snack on them.
These are a real treat.

Comments:
I haven't bought this product for a good number of years. Bought a 9 oz box the other day and was disappointed in the lack of walnuts in the product. I remember the mix of walnuts with the apple and apricot flavor was really good, but could barely tell there were any walnuts in the candy this time. Won't be buying it again, unless this changes (and I somehow find out about it). Hope you decide to add more walnuts back in!
Liberty Orchards Reply: Thanks for your comments, Sandy. We're sorry that your Aplets & Cotlets didn't have enough walnuts. We agree with you that there should be plenty of walnuts in our candies. We want you to know that we have not changed the amount of walnuts in our product for decades. However, hard as we try, we don't get perfect mixing of the nuts with the fruit jel. In the cooking kettle, the nuts tend to float to the top, so even though we're mixing them back in, some trays of candy will have a bit more nuts, and some a bit less. Also, in pouring the hot, cooked product into slabs for cutting, there will be portions that have more nuts, and some that have less. We don't mean to be making excuses here. You have the right to expect excellent products from us, and we'll keep trying to do our best.

Comments:
For many years we enjoyed your product but for several years I have not seen it locally so I went online and purchased four boxes. The A & C were fresh but where the nuts? My recollection, and others who ate the candy, was that you have scrimped on the nuts. Disappointing.
Liberty Orchards Reply: Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry that you didn't feel there were enough nuts in the product. I want you to know that we have not changed the amount of nuts in the recipes for many decades. However, while we mix the nuts into the fruit-base very thoroughly, we do experience some variation in the distribution of nuts in the finished product. Some pieces and boxes will have a bit more nuts, some a bit less.

Aplets and Cotlets are great if you're not looking for something really sweet. And made of healthy fruits and nuts makes them more desirable

One minor complaint

Comments:
Aplets and Cotlets get harder and dried out too quickly once opened - or the box doesn't do a good job or keeping them fresh.
Liberty Orchards Reply: Lewis... Thanks for your comment. Yes, "drying out" is a problem with Aplets & Cotlets. Our confections are moist when fresh, so once the package is opened, they will tend to dry out, just like any fresh bakery product. You can extend the product life by closing the lid, wrapping in Saran or Glad, and putting in the refrigerator. At our factory, we keep the packaged product in cold storage until it's ready to ship, and this helps to keep the product fresh.

My brother, Charles Flanagan sent me some Aplets & Cotlets as a gift. I had not had any for some time until I found them at a Big Lots store here in Norman.
I would reccommend them to any one that loves a taste of excellent candy.
Thanks for such a good treat. Vona

Comments:
You should change the description from "with walnuts" to "with walnut", as in singular walnut. In the past there were MANY MORE walnuts in Aplets & Cotlets. Now it is "jelled flavored sugar" with a few miniscule walnut grains. The walnuts were what made these so good. Won't be buying them again.
LIBERTY ORCHARDS RESPONSE: Sandy, we're very sorry you had this experience with our product. Our recipe calls for a big helping of nuts in every batch, so each piece of candy should have a few pieces of nut. However, when we mix the nuts into the hot jelly, the nuts tend to float. So sometimes, the top trays of poured product will be "nut-heavy", and the last trays "nut-light". We have methods for correcting this, but they're not fool-proof. Your review prompts us to keep looking for better approaches. Thanks again for writing.
