Cinnamon Apple Chocolate Bark

I love Apple Pie caramel apples from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. I thought I would make something similar in chocolate bark form. Depending on how much cinnamon you add to your white chocolate, I think it comes pretty close :)

Ingredients:

• About 12oz Chocolate Chips
• 1 block (or 1/2 cup) White Chocolate - You can actually use much more than this if you'd like
• 1-2 Apple's worth of dehydrated apples or make your own!
• Cinnamon
• Cinnamon/Sugar mixture

Utensils:

• Wax Paper or Non-Stick Mat
• Baking Sheet - I find this nice to make the bark on so it's easy to move it around
• Container you can melt your chocolate in
• Measuring spoon

To start, you want to melt your chocolate and spread that down as your base.

[Next, you could do the white chocolate, as described in the next step, and then the apples. It just depends on your tastes and how you want it to look.]

Lay out your dehydrated apples on the chocolate. Tap them down so they stick well. I did big slices of apple (because it looks nice) and then filled in gaps with smaller pieces.

I wanted to try to be fancy, so after I added the apples, I melted my white chocolate (you probably only need 1 block if you want it to look nice, I tried 2.5 blocks and had too much) and mix in cinnamon once it is melted. I would say to add whatever you want. I used about 1 teaspoon or so per block (1/2 cup) of white chocolate. It is okay if it has a strong cinnamon taste because you are just drizzling it on so it won't be your only taste.

Drizzle that over the apple/chocolate base.

Finish it off by sprinkling the cinnamon sugar on top.

Now you need to let it harden so you can break it up. I usually stick it in the fridge, but that is going to make the chocolate have a matte finish. So, if that matters to you, keep it in mind.

Break it up or cut it apart to serve.
