Viral Date Caramel Apple (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
12 Medjool dates, pitted
02 -
1/2 cup chocolate chips
03 -
2 tablespoons coconut oil
04 -
1/4 cup peanuts, chopped
05 -
1 Honeycrisp apple
# Instructions:
01 -
Lay the pitted Medjool dates sticky-side up on a sheet of plastic wrap. Cover with parchment paper and use a rolling pin to evenly roll them out. Patch gaps or tears using your fingers if necessary.
02 -
Place the apple at the center of the flattened dates. Using the plastic wrap as a guide, mold the date layer around the apple, pressing firmly to ensure it adheres. Remove the plastic wrap and set the apple aside.
03 -
Combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each round, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
04 -
Dip the date-wrapped apple into the melted chocolate until evenly coated. Sprinkle the chopped peanuts over the surface while the chocolate remains wet.

Place the apple on a parchment-lined plate and freeze for 20 minutes to set. Slice into wedges or enjoy whole.
