Chocolate Covered Apples Recipes

Steps:

• Insert wooden craft sticks or lollipop sticks into the cores of the apples at the stem. Place the roasted peanuts and candies on separate plates. Set aside.
• Place the chocolate into a metal or glass bowl and set over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir frequently until melted. Remove from the heat. Dip apples into the melted chocolate, turning to coat completely. Dip or roll in candy or nuts, then place on a sheet of waxed paper. Repeat with remaining apples. Allow apples to set at room temperature until the chocolate is firm, about 20 minutes, before serving.

Steps:

• Wash apples, then dry completely. (Note: In order for the chocolate to stick to the apples, the apples need to be well chilled before washing, drying and dipping in the melted chocolate.)
• Cover plate with parchment; spray with cooking spray. Insert wooden pop stick into stem end of each apple.
• Melt chocolate in small microwaveable bowl following microwaving directions on package. Stir in oil. Dip bottom half of each apple in chocolate mixture, turning until evenly coated. Sprinkle nuts over chocolate. Place on prepared plate.
• Refrigerate 20 min. or until chocolate is firm. (The dipped apples can be refrigerated up to 2 days before serving.) Cut each apple in half to serve.

Steps:

• Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together over a double boiler. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.
• Slice the apple into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Dip the apple slices one at a time into the chocolate, making sure to coat them evenly. The chocolate should go at least three-quarters of the way up each apple slice. Let the excess chocolate drip off.
• Press one side of each slice into the peanuts or coconut, and place the slices non-peanut/coconut-side down on the parchment. Place in the fridge or freezer until the chocolate hardens, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve.

Steps:

• Into a tall glass filled with ice add ingredients in order from first to last.
• Stirring before garnishing.

Steps:

• Put the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of just simmering water, being careful that the bowl doesn't touch the water. Stir frequently for 10 mins until completely melted, smooth and shiny. Remove from the heat. Alternatively, heat the chocolate in short bursts in the microwave, stirring between each burst, until melted.
• Put the apples in a heatproof bowl and pour over boiling water from the kettle. Drain carefully, and wash under hot water to remove any residual wax on the skin. This helps the chocolate stick better. Pat dry with kitchen paper, remove the stalks and push a lolly stick or skewer in its place.
• Line a baking tray or large board with baking parchment. Hold the apples by their sticks and dunk into the melted chocolate. Use a spoon to coat the tops of the apples if you like. Once the apples are completely coated, hold over the bowl for a few seconds for excess chocolate to drip back into it, then place, stick pointing up, onto the prepared tray. Leave to set for a minute or two.
• Tip the decorations into separate bowls. When the chocolate on the apples is just starting to set but not fully firm, sprinkle the decorations onto the apples. Hold them on their side and rotate using the stick to completely cover. Place back on the tray and leave until completely set.
• If using the white and dark chocolate to decorate, heat each separately, as you did the milk chocolate in step 1, then leave to cool slightly. Melt the dark chocolate first, then when the chocolate apples are set hard, use a teaspoon to drizzle this over them, again holding the stick so the apple is on its side and rotating the apple. Have a sheet of baking parchment underneath to catch any drips. Place back on the tray and leave to set, then repeat the process using the white chocolate. Will keep in an airtight container in a cool place for two days.
