Nutella Candied Apples Are Messy, Ridiculous and Completely Worth It

Caramel apples are good. Nutella candied apples are what happens when an apple decides it has been responsible long enough.

The whole plan is gloriously simple: coat crisp apples with Nutella, press on chocolate graham cracker crumbs, add a chocolate drizzle, then chill them. No candy thermometer. No pot of molten caramel. Just an apple wearing an unreasonable amount of chocolate.

What you need

• 2 apples, Jonagold or any crisp variety you like
• 1 jar Nutella
• 4 chocolate graham crackers
• 2 popsicle sticks
• Wax paper or parchment paper
• Chocolate syrup

How to make Nutella candied apples

1. Rinse the apples, dry them completely and remove the stems.
2. Push a popsicle stick firmly into the top of each apple.
3. Crush the chocolate graham crackers into coarse crumbs with a food processor or a sealed bag and rolling pin.
4. Set the apples on wax paper. Spoon Nutella over each apple until the sides are covered.
5. Press the graham cracker crumbs into the coating, then drizzle chocolate syrup over the top.
6. Refrigerate until you are ready to serve them.

The one thing to know before you bite

This is not a candy shell that snaps. Nutella stays creamy, and Nutella says its texture firms up when it gets cold. That makes these refrigerator treats, not carry-them-around-all-afternoon treats.

If you want a full candy-apple parade, these also belong next to our Halloween candied apple ideas. If you just want the fastest route from apple to chocolate, stay right here.

It is still technically fruit. The fruit is simply making excellent choices.

Nutella Candied Apples

If anyone were to ask me, “What is the one thing you’d want to eat if you could eat nothing else for the rest of your life,” I wouldn’t hesitate. Nutella. “But what about,” they might say, and I’d interrupt, “No, Nutella.” I’m not sure if one day the gods got bored and decided to bestow one of their treats from Mount Olympus onto us simple folk below or what, but the advent of Nutella has changed my life. This Nutella Candied Apple is my gift, so to speak, to all of you. It’s the incredible creamy, chocolate-hazelnut goodness of Nutella, mixed with that sweet, crisp bite of apple. Throw in some crumbled chocolate graham cracker and drizzle some chocolate syrup and basically, you’ll have a treat that puts all other treats to shame. Enjoy!
