Method
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper so your bark won’t stick.
- Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth (about 1½–2 minutes).
- Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly to about ¼-inch thickness using the spatula.
- Scatter finely diced apples evenly over the melted chocolate.
- In a separate bowl, melt the caramel candies with heavy cream in the microwave, in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Drizzle the warm caramel over the chocolate and apple layer using a spoon or fork.
- Sprinkle the top with chopped nuts (if using) and a pinch of sea salt.
- Let the bark set at room temperature for about 1 hour, or refrigerate for 20–30 minutes until firm.
- Once set, use a sharp knife to cut into 8 even pieces.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Notes
For best texture, dry diced apples with a paper towel before adding to the chocolate to reduce moisture.
Try using dried apple pieces for a chewier, longer-lasting bark.
You can use milk or white chocolate if you prefer a sweeter taste.
Avoid leaving the bark at room temperature for long periods to prevent the apples from making the chocolate soggy.
