Rockit™ Caramel Crunch Bites
Rockit™ Caramel Crunch Bites
These Rockit™ Caramel Crunch Bites combine crisp, sweet Rockit™ apples with salty pretzels and gooey caramel for the perfect bite-sized treat. Made with both Rolo candies and soft caramels, these easy caramel apple bites have an irresistible mix of crunchy, chewy, sweet, and salty flavors. Finish them with a drizzle of dark chocolate for a simple fall dessert, holiday party snack, after-school treat, or fun addition to a dessert board.
Makes 32 bites
Ingredients:
- 32 square snap pretzels
- 16 Rolo candies, unwrapped
- 16 soft caramels, unwrapped
- 4 Rockit™ apples, each cut into 8 wedges
- Dark chocolate melting wafers for drizzling, optional but recommended
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 180°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Arrange the pretzels in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Place one Rolo on 16 of the pretzels and one soft caramel on each of the remaining 16 pretzels.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven for 5 minutes, or until the candies have softened.
While the candies are softening, cut each Rockit™ apple into 8 wedges for a total of 32 wedges.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Start with the Rolo-topped pretzels and gently press one Rockit™ apple wedge into each softened Rolo. I like to assemble the Rolo bites first to give the soft caramels a little more time to soften on the warm baking sheet.
Once all 16 Rolo bites are assembled, gently press one Rockit™ apple wedge into each softened caramel.
Melt the dark chocolate wafers according to the package directions. Drizzle or pipe the melted chocolate over the bites. You can add chocolate to all 32 bites or only to the soft caramel bites, like I did.
Serve and enjoy! These Rockit™ Caramel Crunch Bites are completely customizable, so add as much or as little chocolate as you like.
