Ingredients
50 pretzel snaps
50 caramel squares, unwrapped
3 Granny Smith apples, cored and cut into 1-inch cubes
1/4 cup finely chopped peanuts
1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips or dark chocolate melting wafers
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 275°F (135°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Arrange pretzel snaps in a single layer with space between each. Place one caramel square on each pretzel.
- Bake for 10–15 minutes, just until the caramel softens but doesn’t melt fully.
- Press an apple cube onto each softened caramel.
- Drizzle melted chocolate over the tops and sprinkle with chopped peanuts.
- Let set for about 20 minutes before serving.
Notes
Swap peanuts for crushed pecans or toffee bits.
Use milk chocolate for a sweeter version.
Dip pretzels in melted chocolate before adding the apple for a double-layer effect.
Sprinkle cinnamon on apples for extra flavor.
Best served the same day due to apple moisture.
