Description
The exact viral treat everyone’s talking about—this TikTok-famous chocolate date caramel apple is sweet, chewy, and made with just 3 healthy ingredients. A fun, mess-free twist on the classic candied apple!
Ingredients
9 large soft Medjool dates, pitted
1 SugarBee red apple (5.5 oz) or any apple of choice
½ cup Hu chocolate gems
Optional toppings: 1 handful of chopped nuts or seeds, shredded coconut, freeze-dried fruit, or chocolate chips (suggested: salted pistachios and hazelnuts)
Instructions
Flatten the dates: Slice each date open and lay flat. Arrange 9 dates in a 3×3 square on parchment paper. Cover with another parchment sheet and roll flat into a thin, even layer.
Wrap the apple: Remove top parchment. Place the apple on the flattened date sheet, then fold the dates around the apple until fully covered. Press gently to stick.
Melt chocolate: Microwave chocolate gems in a wide bowl for 1.5–2 minutes. Add coconut oil if needed for a smoother texture.
Coat the apple: Insert a wooden stick into the apple. Dip into melted chocolate, using a spoon to coat completely. Repeat 2–3 times for thick coverage.
Add toppings (optional): While the chocolate is still warm, sprinkle with chopped nuts, seeds, or other toppings.
Set and serve: Place the apple on parchment and freeze for 10–15 minutes. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
Make sure the dates fully overlap to avoid gaps in the caramel layer.
Use soft, fresh Medjool dates for the best texture and flexibility.
Don’t over-freeze; the chocolate coating may crack when slicing.
Fun for kids to assemble and customize with toppings!
