Choco Caramel Apple Bites (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Chocolate and Toppings
01 -
White candy melts, about ⅓ cup
02 -
Brown chocolate wafers, one package
03 -
Fun sprinkles for topping (if desired)
→ Fresh Fruit
04 -
Crisp medium apples, 2
# Instructions:
01 -
Rinse apples well. Cut them into ¼-inch slices, then punch out the middle with a 1¼-inch round cutter. Soak the slices in water with a bit of lemon juice to keep them from browning.
02 -
Use paper towels to blot the apple slices completely dry, then stick them in the fridge to get nice and cold.
03 -
Get your chocolate or candy melts all smooth and runny using a double boiler or quick bursts in the microwave. If you're using a metal donut pan, give it a quick spray (skip this for silicon molds—just make sure they're clean).
04 -
Drop about 2 tablespoons of melted chocolate in each donut mold (about ⅓ full). Tap and twist the pan so the chocolate climbs up the sides evenly.
05 -
Put an apple ring in each chocolate-lined mold, then top with gooey caramel. Chill for 5 minutes till the caramel sets up.
06 -
Pour the rest of your melted chocolate on top, making sure it covers all the caramel and apple completely. Chill for 20-30 minutes until totally firm.
07 -
Carefully remove treats from molds (turn metal pans upside down or push gently on silicon ones), add a drizzle of melted chocolate on top, and they're ready to eat!
# Notes:
01 -
You can keep these goodies in the fridge for up to a week. Just stack them with paper towels between layers in a sealed container.
02 -
Want to save them longer? Freeze for up to three months. First freeze them separately on parchment, then pack them in a freezer bag with wax paper between each treat.
03 -
When you want a frozen one, let it thaw in the fridge for about an hour before munching.
