Caramel Apple Chocolate Bark This easy Caramel Apple Chocolate Bark is made with melted chocolate, crisp Granny Smith apples, crunchy pretzels, and gooey caramel. It’s an easy no-bake dessert with the perfect combination of sweet, salty, crunchy, and tart flavors. Prep Time: 10 minutes Chill Time: 1 hour Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes Course: Dessert Cuisine: American Servings: 10 servings Ingredients 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips 1 cup caramel bits 1 large Granny Smith apple, cored and diced 1 cup pretzel twists Instructions Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Core and dice the Granny Smith apple into small bite-sized pieces. Pat the apple pieces very well with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Add the chocolate chips to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each interval, until completely melted and smooth. Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and use a spatula or the back of a spoon to spread it into an even layer. Arrange the pretzels over the melted chocolate, gently pressing them into the chocolate. Sprinkle the diced apple pieces evenly over the chocolate and pretzels. Melt the caramel bits according to the package directions. Drizzle the melted caramel generously over the entire bark. Refrigerate for about 1 hour, or until the chocolate is completely firm. Once set, break or cut the bark into pieces and serve. Notes Granny Smith apples work especially well because their tart flavor balances the sweet chocolate and caramel. Make sure to pat the diced apples very dry before adding them to the chocolate. Avoid spreading the chocolate too thin so the bark is sturdy enough to hold the toppings. For a sweet-and-salty finish, add a sprinkle of flaky sea salt before chilling. Store leftover caramel apple bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For the best texture and freshest apples, this bark is best enjoyed the day it's made.
