Ingredients

Scale

Fresh Ingredients

  • 2 large apples, cut into cubes
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Confectionery

  • 1 bag chocolate-covered caramel candies (about 60 pieces)

Snacks

  • 60 mini pretzels

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for melting the candies.
  2. Prepare the Apples: Cut the apples into small cubes and soak them in a bowl with 1 cup of water mixed with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. This prevents browning and keeps them fresh and tart.
  3. Arrange Pretzels and Melt Candy: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place mini pretzels in a single layer, and position one unwrapped chocolate-covered caramel candy on each pretzel. Bake for 3 minutes, just until the candies soften.
  4. Add Apple Cubes: Remove the apples from the lemon water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Take the baking sheet out of the oven, and carefully place an apple cube on top of each melted candy while it is still warm and soft. Press lightly to adhere.
  5. Let Set: Allow the chocolate caramel pretzel bites to cool and harden for at least 30 minutes at room temperature before serving.

Notes

  • Use firm, tart apples such as Granny Smith for a nice balance of sweetness and acidity.
  • If you prefer, substitute lemon juice with lime juice or vinegar to keep apples from browning.
  • Mini pretzels are best for bite-sized treats, but regular pretzels can be used if broken into smaller pieces.
  • Serve these bites shortly after they have hardened for best texture and flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days to maintain crispness.
