Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup spinach, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup breadcrumbs (optional)
Olive oil, for drizzling
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup chopped green apples (about 2 medium apples)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup chopped pecans (optional)
1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Method
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
    Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, chopped spinach, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
      Stuff the Chicken: Carefully slice a pocket into each chicken breast. Fill each pocket generously with the cheese and spinach mixture.
        Seal and Season: Secure the openings with toothpicks if necessary. Season the outside of each chicken breast with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. If desired, roll the chicken in breadcrumbs for a crispy finish.
          Bake: Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
            Serve: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Remove toothpicks if used. Enjoy your cheesy stuffed masterpiece!

                  Heavenly Caramel Apple Fudge 🍏🍬
                    Prepare the Dish: Line an 8x8 inch square baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later.
                      Make the Caramel: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, butter, and heavy cream. Stir continuously until the mixture reaches a soft ball stage (about 235°F or 113°C) on a candy thermometer.
                        Add Flavors: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chopped apples, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until well combined.
                          Combine with Chocolate: Quickly stir in the white chocolate chips until they are melted and fully incorporated into the mixture.
                            Add Nuts and Caramel: Fold in chopped pecans if using, and swirl in half of the caramel sauce for a marbled effect.
                              Set the Fudge: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Drizzle the remaining caramel sauce on top and use a knife to swirl it if desired.
                                Cool: Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for about 2 hours, then refrigerate for at least another hour to help it set.
                                  Cut and Serve: Once set, lift the fudge out of the dish using the parchment paper. Cut into squares and enjoy the rich, flavor-packed bites of heaven!
