Instructions

  1. Insert a wooden Popsicle stick or chopstick into stem end of each apple. Cook caramels and chocolate in a double boiler over medium heat, stirring often, until melted, about 20 minutes. Place pretzels in a bowl. Dip bottom halves of apples into caramel mixture; twirl to coat. Roll bottoms in pretzels, place on serving plate lined with wax paper, and refrigerate until caramel coating is firm, about 20 minutes.

Why this Salty Chocolate-Caramel Apples works for PCOS

Desserts on a PCOS plan are not banned, but timing and pairing matter. Eating sweet foods immediately after a balanced meal (rather than on an empty stomach) blunts the blood sugar response, since protein and fat slow gastric emptying. This Salty Chocolate-Caramel Apples works best as an occasional post-dinner option rather than a standalone snack.
