Caramel apples are a staple of the fall season, but they can be impractical to eat sometimes. This recipe is a quick and easy way to get all the best qualities of a caramel apple in a much simpler form. It blends salty, tart and sweet flavors in perfect harmony.
Ingredients:
- 2 bags of milk chocolate chips (dark chocolate works as well)
- 2 green apples, chopped
- Salted pretzels
- Caramel drizzle
Directions:
- Begin by spreading out your pretzels onto a sheet pan. Make sure they do not overlap too much.
- Put your chocolate chips into a microwave safe bowl and microwave it in increments of 15 seconds. Stir the chocolate chips in between each set of 15 seconds. Do that until the chocolate chips are fully melted and creamy.
- Grab a baking spatula and pour the melted chocolate over the pretzels. Spread evenly with the spatula until the pretzels are fully covered in chocolate.
- Chill in the freezer for about 20 minutes (or until the chocolate has hardened).
- While the pan is in the freezer, chop up your green apples. The easiest method for this is to cut them into slices, then chop each slice into three or four smaller chunks.
- Once your chocolate has hardened, sprinkle the pieces of apples all over.
- Drizzle some caramel sauce over top.
- Cut the bark into small chunks and enjoy!
