Dark Chocolate Apples

There are so many interesting ways to enjoy dark chocolate apples! By far the easiest to find is the whole apple covered in dark chocolate. Dark chocolate covered wedges can be found with a little effort, and dark chocolate bars with apple are few and far between.

I remember talking my mom into adding a cup of chocolate chips to her apple pie. What a great combination. I was hooked! I also remember caramel apples at Halloween, but I don't remember seeing chocolate covered apples as a kid.

Dark chocolate covered whole apples are now fairly easy to find. I have found a few places on-line that have a whole apple covered in only dark chocolate. But whole apples covered first in caramel, and then in dark chocolate seem to be much more popular. For example, on the web you can find whole apples covered with caramel, dark chocolate, and:

More dark chocolate chunks
Dark chocolate drops and shavings
Cashews, peanuts, pecans, walnuts, corn nuts, or pistachios
Wasabi and dried green peas (yes, believe it)
Reeses pieces and chips
Cherries and fudge
Or nothing else, just caramel and dark chocolate

Here are some really great ones. These apples generally serve 8-10 people and stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. Bring to room temperature before slicing and Enjoy!!!

I have only found a few places with dark chocolate covered slices of apple. Take a look at these three apple wedges covered in dark chocolate:

Dark Chocolate Bars

Many bars have apple juice as an ingredient, perhaps to enhance the fruit flavor. But I've only found these three with apple as a primary ingredient. It looks like the two Dolfin products are seasonal summer items only, but the link leads to a web site that says they have them. Please Contact Me and let me know if you're able to buy from here, and at what time of year.

Dolfin Summer Memories 60% with apple, hazelnuts, sugar cane, and cinnamon (last item on the page)
Dolfin Fruity Escapade 60% cocoa with apple, peach, and apricot (3rd item from the bottom of the page)

Many bars with citrus actually have "apple" listed somewhere in the ingredients, including these four:
