Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup caramel bits or chopped soft caramels
- 1 large Granny Smith apple, thinly sliced and patted very dry
- 1/4 cup chopped pretzels or nuts (optional)
- Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Alternatively, melt using a double boiler.
- Spread the melted chocolate evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Sprinkle the apple slices evenly over the chocolate.
- Sprinkle the caramel bits over the apple slices. If using, add chopped pretzels or nuts.
- Sprinkle lightly with flaky sea salt.
- Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely firm.
- Once firm, break the bark into pieces.
- Store in an airtight container in the freezer.
Notes
- Ensure apple slices are very dry to prevent the chocolate from seizing.
- You can substitute milk or white chocolate for dark chocolate.
- Other topping ideas include chopped pecans, walnuts, or even a drizzle of extra caramel.
- For make-ahead convenience, this bark freezes well for up to 2 weeks.
