- Prepare your ingredients: Wash and dry the apples, core and slice them into bite-sized pieces.
- Melt the caramel: Combine caramel squares and a splash of water in a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl. Heat gently until smooth.

- Set and serve: Allow bites to cool until the chocolate hardens, about 30 minutes.
Notes
Use fresh apples for the best flavor and texture. Experiment with different types of chocolate and toppings.
