Equipment

  • Parchment paper
  • Microwave

Ingredients
  

  • 40 square snap pretzels
  • 10 Medjool dates pitted and halved lengthwise
  • 1 large Honeycrisp or Granny Smith apple cored and cut into 20 bite-sized chunks
  • 2/3 cup dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 tsp coconut oil
  • Flaky sea salt for topping

Instructions
 

  • Line a baking sheet or large serving plate with a sheet of parchment paper and set it aside.
  • Core your fresh apple and cut it into 20 small, bite-sized chunks that match the general size of your square pretzels.
  • Slice each of the 10 pitted Medjool dates in half lengthwise to create 20 date pieces.
  • Assemble each bite by placing one snap pretzel flat on your work surface, setting a date half on top, adding a fresh apple chunk over the date, and crowning it with a second snap pretzel.
  • Gently smush the two pretzels together so the sticky date secures the apple chunk inside the pretzel sandwich, repeating until you have assembled all 20 bites.
  • Add the chocolate chips and coconut oil into a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20- to 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each burst, until the chocolate is silky and completely melted.
  • Dip each pretzel sandwich halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off, and arrange the dipped bites onto your prepared parchment sheet.
  • Immediately sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt over the wet chocolate on each bite. Place the sheet into the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the chocolate shell to harden completely before serving.
