STORY BEHIND THE DISH

Each year on our family trip to Big Bear it is a must that we stop by Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory & get a sprinkled caramel apple & a delicious avalanche bark. Not like it's a rare find, living only 3 miles from one, but it is just a great memory that I enjoy reliving every trip. My sister Shirley was the one who introduced me to this fine sweet treat & I have been hooked for years.

MODIFICATIONS 

The only modification I would make to this dish is to double the batch, because they will be gone in seconds! If you or a family member has a peanut allergy you might want to try almond butter or sunflower butter. But if it's nuts in general I am sure it would still make a great sweet treat removing the peanut butter all together.
