Caramel Apple Date Clusters Recipe

Makes: 10 clusters

Ingredients:

• 10 dates
• 1 green apple, diced
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips (I like Lily’s Sweets)
• 1 tsp coconut oil
• Pretzels, crushed

Directions:

1. Place chocolate chips in a bowl with coconut oil. Microwave for 1 minute or until chocolate is fully melted.
2. Slice each date lengthwise, remove the pit and flatten that date to create a base layer. Place each date on a parchment lined plate.
3. Top each date with about a tbsp of diced apple, melted chocolate and crushed pretzels.
4. Place in the freezer for about 5 minutes just to set the chocolate and enjoy! (Note: after 5 minutes in the freezer, keep them stored in the fridge)
