How Many Calories... in a caramel apple?

There are certain foods that I crave only in certain seasons, and caramel apples are definitely one of them. If autumn comes and goes and I haven't eaten at least one caramel apple, I feel a little bit deprived. I think we all have little food traditions like that.

My annual caramel apple-eating tradition will continue, regardless of the answer to this question. But just out of curiosity, I wonder:

How many calories are in an average caramel apple?

A) 80 calories
B) 150 calories
C) 300 calories
D) 500 calories

The correct answer is C) 300 calories. Keep in mind this number is a general estimate, and could be much higher or lower depending on the size of the apple, thickness of the caramel, and possible additional ingredients like nuts.
