Ingredients
- 11.5 oz bag milk chocolate chips divided
- 3 cups pretzels coarsely crushed
- 2 Granny Smith apples
- ½ cup caramel sundae sauce
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Gently break the pretzels – coarse is fine, you don’t want them finely crushed. Stop when you have 3 cups full.
- Rinse and dice the apples into about ½-inch cubes. Discard the seeds and core.
- Set ¼ – ½ cup of chocolate chips aside, and melt the rest.
- Pour the melted chocolate onto the parchment paper, and spread it out across the pan, making it about a ⅛-¼ inch thick.
- Top with the crushed pretzels, and then the diced apples.
- Drizzle caramel sauce over the top.
- Melt the leftover chocolate chips, and drizzle over the top of everything.
- To serve, use a fork to carefully break a piece off, and serve on a plate since it’s rather messy!
Notes
- You may choose to use caramel candies and melt them, but please note it will alter the flavor and consistency of this dessert.
- To make this dish gluten-free, simply swap the pretzels for gluten-free ones.
- This is a messy dessert recipe, so be mindful of that when you are serving.
- When cutting up the apple, discard any core and pips. These are not nice to eat. You can leave the skin on if you wish.
- It might help to have all of the elements ready so that you can assemble the dessert without the risk of the chocolate solidifying.
