Caramel Apple Bark is a quick and festive no-bake treat that combines layers of melted chocolate, gooey caramel, dried apple slices, and crunchy toppings. It’s the perfect sweet and salty snack for fall parties, gifts, or cozy afternoons.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional, for drizzle or layering)
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups dried apple slices
  • 1 cup soft caramels or caramel bits
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
  • 1/3 cup chopped nuts (pecans, walnuts, or peanuts)
  • 1/4 cup crushed pretzels or graham crackers (optional)
  • Sea salt (optional, for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
  3. Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
  4. While chocolate is still warm, gently press dried apple slices into the surface.
  5. In another bowl, melt the caramels with the heavy cream or milk, stirring until smooth.
  6. Drizzle the melted caramel over the chocolate and apples.
  7. Sprinkle chopped nuts, crushed pretzels or graham crackers, and a pinch of sea salt over the top.
  8. Optional: Drizzle with melted white chocolate for decoration.
  9. Chill the bark in the refrigerator for 30–45 minutes, or until fully set.
  10. Once hardened, break into pieces and enjoy.

Notes

Use dried apples, not fresh, to avoid adding moisture that can affect texture.High-quality chocolate will help the bark set better and taste richer.For a nut-free version, skip nuts and add extra pretzels or granola.Add cinnamon or apple pie spice for an extra layer of fall flavor.Let the frosting or drizzle set completely before storing.
