Instructions:

  1. Slice the Apple
    Core 1 green apple and cut into thick rings about 1 cm (½ inch). Pat slices dry with a paper towel.
  2. Melt the Chocolate
    Place 85 g (½ cup) chocolate chips (and ½ tsp coconut oil if using) in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 15–20 second intervals, stirring between each, until completely smooth.
  3. Dip the Apple Rings
    Dip each ring into the melted chocolate to coat fully or halfway. Let excess drip off, then place on parchment paper.
  4. Drizzle Peanut Butter
    Warm 30 g (2 tbsp) peanut butter for 10 seconds until drizzle-ready. Drizzle over the rings.
  5. Add Toppings and Set
    Sprinkle with 15 g (2 tbsp) crushed peanuts and sprinkles if desired. Refrigerate or freeze for at least 30 minutes until fully firm.

Notes:

  • Pat apple rings completely dry before dipping — moisture prevents chocolate from sticking.
  • Coconut oil makes the chocolate thinner, glossier, and helps it set with a snap.

Storage:

  • Fridge for up to 2 days or freezer for up to 1 week. Thaw 5–10 minutes before eating.

Swaps:

  • Use almond butter or tahini instead of peanut butter.
  • Swap crushed peanuts for shredded coconut or sea salt flakes.

Tips:

  • Granny Smith apple gives the best tart contrast with the sweet chocolate.
