  • Baking paper

Directions

Level up your afternoon snack with these delicious (and healthier!) Cosmic Crisp® Toffee Apple Date Wraps.

  1. Prepare the Date Wrap
    Place a piece of plastic wrap on a flat surface.Squish the pitted Medjool dates onto the plastic wrap, ensuring they form an even layer around the size of the apple.
    Cover with baking paper and gently flatten the dates using a rolling pin or your hands to create a smooth, even sheet. The dates should be thin and wide enough to wrap the apple entirely.
  2. Wrap the Apple
    Once the date layer is flattened, place the whole Cosmic apple in the centre.Carefully wrap the flattened dates around the apple, ensuring it’s evenly coated. The dates should stick to the apple and form a chewy, smooth layer.
  3. Melt the Chocolate
    In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and coconut oil (Copha).
    Melt together over a double boiler or in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and glossy.
  4. Coat the Wrapped Apple
    Carefully dip the date-wrapped apple into the melted chocolate, making sure it’s evenly coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off. There will be leftover chocolate, which can be stored for more toffee apples or other recipes.
  5. Top with Nuts
    While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the toasted flaked almonds (or any nut of your choice) over the chocolate coating, adding a crunchy texture.
  6. Set & Serve
    Place the chocolate-coated apple in the fridge for 15–20 minutes to set.
    Once the chocolate has hardened, slice the apple into wedges or bite directly into it for a fun, crunchy treat!
