Description
Enjoy your sweet and crunchy S’mores Chocolate Caramel Apples!
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1 package of caramels (about 14 ounces)
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or shortening
- 4 large marshmallows
- 4 graham crackers, crushed
- 4 wooden sticks
- Chocolate bars, broken into pieces for topping
- Optional: additional graham crackers for serving
Instructions
- Prep the Apples: Wash and thoroughly dry the apples. Remove the stems and insert a wooden stick into the top of each one.
- Melt the Caramel: In a saucepan, melt the caramels with 2 tablespoons of water over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth.
- Dip the Apples: Dip each apple into the melted caramel, letting the excess drip off. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and allow to set in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.
- Prepare the Chocolate Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
- Coat with Chocolate: Dip the caramel-coated apples into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Return to the lined baking sheet.
- Garnish: While the chocolate is still wet, press a marshmallow onto the top of each apple. Sprinkle crushed graham crackers over the chocolate. Press a piece of chocolate bar onto the top of each apple.
- Set the Apples: Place the apples back in the refrigerator until the chocolate is completely set, about 20 minutes.
Notes
- Apple Type: Choose firm apples to prevent them from getting soggy after dipping.
- Alternative Toppings: Experiment with different toppings like nuts or additional candy pieces for variety.
- Caramel Care: Ensure the caramel is smooth and not too thick to avoid uneven coating.
- Storage: Store in the refrigerator if not consuming immediately to maintain freshness and ensure the coatings remain set.
