Ingredients

360 g Cadbury milk chocolate (12 oz)
4 small apples
180 g Carnation caramel (or dulce the leche, 6 oz)
60 g small pretzels ( 2 oz)
100 g toasted walnuts (3 oz)
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 100 degrees Celsius (210 Fahrenheit).
Place the chocolate bar onto a baking tray lined with non-stick baking paper.
Place the tray in the oven for the chocolate to melt.
In the meatime, core the apples and chop them into small cubes.
Drizzle lemon juice over them, and use a spatula to mix really well.
When the chocolate is melted, spread it in an even layer, reserving some chocolate for topping the bark with it.
Spread the pieces of apples over, then crushed or whole pretzels, roughly-chopped toasted walnuts, then drizzle caramel and chocolate over.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour so the chocolate can set.
Peel the bark off the baking paper and break it into pieces.

Notes

Using a non-stick parchment paper is crucial, no matter how no-stick your baking tray is, the bark will never peel off it. But a non-stick baking paper works a charm every single time, once the chocolate sets, it simply peels off without any issue.
To avoid the caramel making mess, drizzle more melted chocolate over it, so that when the chocolate melts, the caramel is locked in rather than spread around. Still a very delicious mess, if it does happen!
Keep the bark refrigerated and consume within 2 days, otherwise the pretzels will become soggy. Alternatively, you can freeze the bark to keep all the flavours and texture right.
