Chocolate is a wonderful compliment to the already tastey carmel apple.

I thought the apples remained crisp and the flavor of caramel and chocolate were outstanding.

Super delicious! I found this to be easy and fun to make. I also swirled in carmel and white chocolate and crushed pretzel bits. Kids as well as adults loved them. Try using different things for different holidays. For christmas try using mint chocolate and crushed peppermint candies, Yummy too!

I liked the ones I made without the peanuts the best. But, they were very good both ways. Really enjoyed them.

the taste of the apples is very good, but the mixture is very drippy/gooey when you are coating the apples. the topping kept slidding down during the 'setting' process resulting in big blobs of coating and nuts collecting at the bottom of the apples.
