Vegan Caramel Apple Bark
This vegan caramel apple bark is the perfect dessert to celebrate fall. It is so easy to make, takes only 10 minutes of prep time, and is the perfect sweet and salty snack to have while the weather begins to cool down. All you need is some chocolate, coconut oil, apples, pretzels, and an easy, homemade peanut butter caramel sauce that is so tasty and creamy.
Ingredients
- 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- 24 pretzels, whole
- 1 apple, your flavour of choice (diced)
Homemade Vegan Peanut Butter Caramel
- ½ cup smooth natural peanut butter
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp coconut oil, can add more or less depending on how liquidy your peanut butter is
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, add in all the caramel sauce ingredients and set to medium temperature. Whisk everything together until combined. Keep your heat to low-medium for 3-5 minutes. We just want the peanut butter caramel sauce to be warm and super smooth! Remove from the heat and set aside. If you notice the sauce becomes hard, add some extra coconut oil to thin out.
- Line a small baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
- Chop up one apple into small pieces and set aside.
- Melt your chocolate chips with coconut oil in the microwave in 25-30 second increments, stirring in between until fully melted. Pour 3/4 of the chocolate on your baking tray and spread out evenly.
- Place your pretzels onto the melted chocolate.
- Add chopped apples on top of the melted chocolate and pretzels.
- Drizzle your peanut butter caramel sauce over the chopped apples.
- Drizzle your remaining 1/4 of melted chocolate on top of your bark, then place in the freezer to harden for about 20-30 minutes.
- Remove from the freezer, cut and enjoy!

Notes
How to store: Place caramel apple bark in a container and keep in the freezer for up to one month.
Note: You can use store bought caramels for the caramel sauce if you don't want to make it yourself! If you can find vegan caramel candy, simply melt this to drizzle on top. However, if you don't care for a vegan version, you can use any caramel of your choice! I hope you enjoy :)
