Today in foods class we got to design our own Christmas dessert that had to include green apples. I started by thinking of what went well with apples and I instantly thought of caramel, so that would those would be my first two ingredients. Then I thought of other sweet ingredients, and then decided on milk chocolate. To make everything better I decided to add mini pretzels as well, so that I would have a sweet and salty combo. This dessert bark was very easy to make because all I needed was melting chocolate, green apples, caramel sauce and mini pretzels. I started by lining a baking tray with parchment paper and then cut up two green apples into small cubes. While I was cutting the apples I melted about two cups of milk chocolate in the microwave at 20 second intervals until it was melted. Once the chocolate was melted my next step was to put the apples in a small bowl and then mix about 1/3 a cup of caramel sauce into the cut up apples. I then poured the majority of the melted chocolate onto the baking sheet and spread it until it was as smooth and even as I could get it. Then I placed the pretzels across the melted chocolate until it was completely covered in pretzels. I then poured the caramel apple mixture overtop and spread it out with a rubber spatula until it was covering the pretzels. Lastly I drizzled the rest of the melted chocolate and more caramel sauce overtop of the apple bark. I put the tray in the freezer for about 45 minutes until it was all hardened and then I cut it into squares. When I tasted the caramel apple bark it was so sweet and also a bit salty so it was a great combo. Overall this recipe is defiantly not the healthiest because of the caramel and the chocolate but at least it had some apples in it. I probably wouldn’t make this again because it was way too sweet for my liking.
