Ingredients

28 Pretzel Snaps square pretzels
28 Caramel Squares unwrapped
1 to 2 Granny Smith Apples cored and sliced into 28 1/2-inch chunks
fresh Lemon Juice Fruit-fresh will work as well

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet or jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
Place the 28 Pretzel Snaps in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Place a caramel square on top of each pretzel square.
Cut the 1 to 2 Granny Smith Apples into chunks and then place them in fresh Lemon Juice so they don’t brown.
Place the baking sheet of caramels/pretzels in the preheated oven for no more than 5 minutes. Just until slightly melted.
Pull out of the oven and immediately start adding apple slices. Pat each slice dry and push down into the caramel. Let the caramel apple bites cool.
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate chips. Microwave in 30 second intervals and stir after each interval until the chocolate chips are melted and smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate chips into a piping bag and cut a small tip off of the bag.
Once your caramels are cooled completely, drizzle each one with chocolate.
Place in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

You can use any kind of apple you prefer. A granny smith apple is tart and cuts the sweetness of the caramel.

Instead of using caramel squares from Kraft, you can also use Werther's soft caramels.
