Ingredients
- 4 large Envy or Honeycrisp apples
- 1 bag Ghirardelli chocolate melting wafers
- ⅓ cup Ghirardelli white chocolate melting wafers
- ½ cup Krafts Classic Melting Caramels
- 1 Tbsp heavy cream
- Mini M&Ms
- Peanuts, chopped
- Variety of Sprinkles
- Mini chocolate chips
- Twix Bar, chopped
Instructions
- Prep your workspace by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper and setting it aside. Trust me, you'll want this ready before the chocolate starts flying!
- Slice your apples into ½-inch thick slices. Place them on a paper towel and cover with another paper towel. Gently press down to remove any excess moisture. This step is super important because if your apples are too wet, the chocolate won’t stick properly.
- Now, grab a knife and make a small slit at the bottom of each apple slice. Insert a bamboo stick into each slit. This little trick helps prevent your apples from cracking—no one wants a broken apple!
- Time to get melting! In a microwave-safe bowl, melt your chocolate wafers according to the package instructions.
- Dip each apple slice into the melted chocolate, making sure it’s fully coated. Let the excess chocolate drip off before placing the apple onto your prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all your apple slices are covered and pop them in the fridge to harden.
- While your chocolate-coated apples are chilling, melt the white chocolate wafers in a small bowl as directed on the package. Once melted, take the apples out of the fridge and drizzle that white chocolate over them for a little extra flair.
- It’s caramel time! In a small saucepan, combine the melting caramels and heavy cream over low heat. Stir constantly until you’ve got a smooth caramel sauce—about 3-5 minutes. Drizzle this luscious caramel over your apple slices.
- Now for the fun part—toppings! Sprinkle your choice of mini M&Ms, chopped peanuts, sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, or chopped Twix bars over the apples while the caramel is still sticky. Get creative and mix and match toppings to suit your taste!
