There is nothing more delicious than a sweet and sticky caramel apple during the Fall season. But, let's be honest: traditional caramel apples can be difficult to eat, not to mention, messy. That's where this recipe comes in, to give you everything that you love about caramel apples, but in a much easier way to eat. This Caramel Apple Bark is made from sweet chocolate, chopped Granny Smith apples, salty pretzels, and a delicious caramel sauce for a treat that is perfect for Halloween and beyond!
Ingredients
- 8 Ounces Chocolate Chips
- 1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil
- 20-25 Pretzels
- 1 Green Granny Smith Apple
- ½ Cup Caramel Sauce you can use a store-bought caramel sauce or try my 4-Ingredient Date Sweetened Caramel!
- 1 Pinch Flaky Sea Salt
Instructions
- To make this bark, start by adding the chocolate chips and coconut oil to a small bowl. Microwave them in 2-3, 30 second increments, being sure to stop and stir the chocolate mixture in-between. You'll want the chocolate to be fully melted! You can also do this on the stove, using the double-boiler method.
- Next, wash and chop the apples into small pieces, and set them aside. You can leave the skin on or take it off- it's your choice!
- Then, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and pour the melted chocolate on top of it. Use a rubber spatula to smooth the chocolate out in an even layer. Reserve some of the chocolate to drizzle on top of the bark!
- Next, take the pretzels and layer them in a row, across the chocolate, followed by the apple pieces.
- Drizzle the caramel sauce on top of the bark, followed by the reserved chocolate. Add a pinch of flaky sea salt, if desired.
- Finally, transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and freeze until the chocolate is fully solid (this should take approximately one hour).
- Once it's solid, remove it from the freezer, break it into pieces, and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an aright container, in the freezer, for up to one month!
