Prep time: 5 mins

You won't believe these quick & easy Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Apples are a healthy snack or dessert! Apples, dark chocolate, peanut butter, coconut, and almonds are the perfect flavor combo!

Ingredients

1 medium crisp sweet apple
1 tablespoon chopped dark chocolate or dark chocolate chips (70% cocoa or higher)
¼ teaspoon unrefined coconut oil
1 tablespoon natural peanut butter or other nut butter
1 tablespoon unsweetened coconut flakes
½ tablespoon chopped almonds or other nuts

Instructions

Core the apple and slice into ¼ inch slices. Arrange in a single layer on a plate.
Put chocolate and coconut oil in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave 15-20 seconds at a time, until melted and smooth. The coconut oil is optional, depending on the kind of chocolate use. I just chopped up a square of dark chocolate and melted it without the coconut oil and it still worked great.
In a separate bowl, melt the peanut butter for 20-30 seconds, until soft and you're able to drizzle it with a spoon.
Drizzle chocolate and peanut butter over the apples. Sprinkle with coconut and almonds. ENJOY!
