6apples , (gala, pink lady, red or golden delicious etc)
100gmilk chocolate , (or dark or white or a combination)
50gwhite chocolate (optional)
6short bamboo sticks
Toppings (optional):
colored sugar sprinkles, 2 types
candy eyeballs
chopped walnuts or hazelnuts
Instructions
Cut the chocolate into smaller pieces and place into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in two 10-20s bursts, checking after each if it needs more time heating up (this will vary based on the power of your microwave). Repeat until the chocolate is melted.
Wash and pat dry the apples, cut them into slices if preferred. Prick the apples (or slices) with a bamboo stick.
Coat the apples (or slices) evenyl in the melted chocolate. Add sprinkles or other toppings and leave to set in the fridge for at least 15 minutes or until firm. Keep refrigerated until you’re ready to serve these.
Notes
Water bath method (no microwave):Add about 2cm of water into a saucepan, set on medium heat. Place a mixing bowl on top of the saucepan, making sure it sits properly on top of the saucepan.Add chocolate chunks into the mixing bowl and leave it to melt slowly. Stir occasionally. This will take a few minutes. Turn down the heat if it looks like the water in the pan is going to boil, keep it on low heat.When the chocolate is all melted, take one apple at a time, (hold it on the bamboo stick), start tossing it in melted chocolate and turn it slowly, so that it’s evenly coated. Place the apple on a plate, sprinkle with your chosen toppings and leave to set in the fridge for at least 20 minutes. Repeat step 3 and 4 with the remaining apples.Possible swaps (1:1 ratio unless stated otherwise):
Pears,
Caramel candies (caramels/toffee),
Bananas or strawberries – use to coat any leftover chocolate (any amount).
