Apple Peanut Butter Samoas
It’s a healthier way to satisfy your sweet tooth while still indulging in the deliciousness of the beloved cookie.
Ingredients
- 1 large apple, cored and cut into eight ¼-inch thick circles
- 3 tablespoons peanut butter or other nut butter, plus 2 teaspoons creamy nut butter
- ½ cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons shredded coconut*
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet or large plate with parchment paper. Add apple circles and blot top of each with a paper towel to dry them off (this will make it easier to spread peanut butter on top).
- Add a thin spread of peanut butter to the top side of each slice. Set aside.
- To melt chocolate, add chocolate chips to a microwave-safe small bowl and melt in the microwave until smooth and creamy. It’s important not to burn the chocolate so I recommend doing this in 20-second intervals, stopping and stirring until you reach a desired silky texture. (Alternatively, you can use a double boiler to melt chocolate.)
- Then blend in 2 teaspoons creamy nut butter until it becomes smooth, as this will help to make it more drippy for drizzling. Create zigzags of melted chocolate over the peanut butter-covered apple slices, and finish with a sprinkling of shredded coconut (1 teaspoon per apple slice).
- Place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to firm.
