# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes less time to make than it does to open a bag of chips, and you feel good about eating it.
  • Kids can customize their own plate with whatever toppings they like, which means less complaining and more eating.
  • The mix of creamy, crunchy, sweet, and salty hits every craving at once.
02 -
  • If you slice the apples too thick, the toppings slide off and you lose the whole nacho effect.
  • Warming the peanut butter is not optional unless you want to wrestle with a spoon trying to spread cold cement.
  • Serve these within 10 minutes or the apples start weeping and everything gets soggy.
03 -
  • Use a plate with a slight rim so the honey and peanut butter don't drip onto the table.
  • Toast the coconut in a dry skillet for 2 minutes before sprinkling, it brings out a nutty sweetness that's incredible.
  • If you're making these for toddlers, skip the whole nuts and use finely chopped ones or just the chocolate chips.
