Ingredients
  

  • 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips

  1. Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until smooth and completely melted. Alternatively, melt chocolate using a double boiler over simmering water.
  2. Peel, core, and dice the apple into small, bite-sized pieces for even distribution.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Pour melted chocolate onto the sheet, spreading it evenly to a thin layer.
  4. Sprinkle caramel bits evenly over the melted chocolate. Then scatter diced apples over the caramel.
  5. If using, sprinkle chopped nuts over the apples and caramel. Finish with ground cinnamon and a pinch of sea salt.
  6. Gently press the toppings into the melted chocolate using the back of a spoon or spatula to ensure they adhere well.
  7. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely set and firm.
  8. Remove the bark from the refrigerator and break into irregular pieces. For cleaner breaks, score the bark with a knife before chilling.
  9. Serve and enjoy this festive Halloween finger food.
