Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 200 grams dark or semisweet chocolate chips about 1 1/3 cups
  • 1 medium green apple about 140 grams, cored and finely diced
  • 80 grams soft caramels about 10 caramel candies, unwrapped
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 40 grams chopped roasted nuts such as pecans or almonds, optional, about 1/3 cup

Equipment

  • 1 baking sheet approx. 9x13 inches
  • 1 parchment paper
  • 2 microwave-safe bowls
  • 1 rubber spatula

Method
 

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper so your bark won’t stick.
  2. Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth (about 1½–2 minutes).
  3. Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly to about ¼-inch thickness using the spatula.
  4. Scatter finely diced apples evenly over the melted chocolate.
  5. In a separate bowl, melt the caramel candies with heavy cream in the microwave, in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  6. Drizzle the warm caramel over the chocolate and apple layer using a spoon or fork.
  7. Sprinkle the top with chopped nuts (if using) and a pinch of sea salt.
  8. Let the bark set at room temperature for about 1 hour, or refrigerate for 20–30 minutes until firm.
  9. Once set, use a sharp knife to cut into 8 even pieces.
  10. 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.
