About this recipe

This caramel apple bark has all the flavors for fall, and it’s fun to make with kids! Plus, it’s less messy than a caramel apple for Halloween.

Bark is made from pouring melted chocolate into a flat layer and sprinkling it with toppings. Once the chocolate is cooled, break it into irregular pieces to resemble the rough texture of tree bark.

This salty-sweet treat is not too sweet when made with dark chocolate. If you prefer a sweeter bark, use milk chocolate or drizzle with white chocolate.

Once you cut the Granny Smith apples for this recipe, make sure to add some lemon juice so it doesn’t brown.

Jessica Holmes recommends using a Silpat-lined cookie sheet to make sure the chocolate lifts off easily, but if you don’t have a Silpat, add some cooking spray to a wax paper-lined cookie sheet.
