I've never had it just asking
Chocolate covered strawberries is yum...I would think dipping apple slices in chocolate would be just as good

My favourite way to eat apples is sliced, with some sliced cheese. Very satisfying.
Though I do try and fit in chocolate regularly too...4 -
I try to shop for smaller apples so I don't have half an apple sitting around, getting brown. Those huge ones can have over 200 calories! I generally end up eating berries for my fruit, just because I can portion easier.0

I'd rather use fewer calories having extra veg for fiber and micros then I could just have the chocolate without worrying about the apple. This is why I don't eat much fruit. Though i've been on a melon kick recently. And will eat a boatload of strawberries as they come into season.
But yeah, more veg so I can have chocolate instead of fruit.2 -

I love apples and I love chocolate! There is many a day that I eat both. An 80 calorie apple plus a 240 calorie Milky Way still leave me with calories for the rest of my day.0

Because they're sugar. Nature's candy.

They must have some fiber. Cocoa powder (the unsweetened baking powder) is pretty high fiber. Obviously, in a chocolate bar, there's so much fat and sugar that the fiber may not amount to much, but if it has actual cocoa (i.e., not "white chocolate"), it has to have some fiber.

Apples are pretty nutritionally void. They're tasty when in season and smell wonderful, but even their fiber isn't that great. Sugary cereals per serving have the same or more fiber, and less sugar, than an apple of the same calories. (yes I've really compared the supposed nutritional virtues of an apple to fruit loops)4

Apples are not nutritionally devoid! If you think that, then all foods are nutritionally devoid.8 -

most I have bought have very low fiber, maybe 1 or 2 grams if that. Im sure there are some out there that have decent amounts of fiber,but would probably cost more to buy.dark chocolate has more grams of fiber but the higher the amount of cacao the more bitter it is lol

I said "pretty nutritionally void", and my point was its nutrition profile is not impressive. So why force yourself to eat an apple if doing so if because of a false belief that it is? Eat em if you like em.1 -
I love a good apple. They fill me up! I could eat a jumbo honeycrisp any day of the week. Too bad they're so friggin expensive!1

Btw, the nutritional profile for apples is very good. There are plenty of fruits and vegetables with more micronutrients and fiber, but apples still compare very favorably to sugary cereals like Froot Loops. Besides having more fiber and fewer calories, they have all kinds of phytonutrients. Here's just one article: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC442131/5
