Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz Chocolate Chips
  • 1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil
  • 20-25 Pretzels
  • 1 Green Granny Smith Apple, chopped
  • 1/2 Cup Caramel Sauce
  • 1 Pinch Flaky Sea Salt (optional)

Equipment

  • microwave or double boiler
  • small mixing bowl
  • Rubber spatula
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • freezer
  • airtight storage container

Method
 

  1. To make this bark, add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to a small bowl. Microwave in 2–3, 30-second increments, stirring in between, until fully melted. You can also melt using the double-boiler method on the stove.
  2. Wash and chop the apple into small pieces. Set aside. You can leave the skin on or remove it.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour the melted chocolate on top and smooth it into an even layer with a rubber spatula. Reserve some chocolate for drizzling.
  4. Layer the pretzels across the chocolate, then scatter the chopped apples over top.
  5. Drizzle caramel sauce over the top, followed by the reserved chocolate. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired.
  6. Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and freeze until the chocolate is fully solid, about 1 hour.
  7. Once solid, remove from freezer and break into pieces. Enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one month.
