Ingredients

5 medium/small granny smith apples
12 ounces dark cocoa melting wafers
12 ounces orange melting wafers
Halloween sprinkles

Instructions

Cut each apple into 4 slices (don't use the core) then carefully push a popsicle stick into the center of the apple to hold the apple up. I cut my apples into slightly less than 1⁄2 inch slices. If your apples are sliced too thin, the stick will not push in correctly and the apple will be limp.
5 medium/small granny smith apples
Melt your orange and cocoa melting wafers (in separate microwavable bowls) for 2 minutes each. Stir, then continue to melt for 30 second increments until fully melted. Stir between each increment.
12 ounces dark cocoa melting wafers, 12 ounces orange melting wafers
Take an apple pop and dip each side in the melted cocoa chocolate. Then take a spoon and lightly drizzle some of the orange chocolate over the apple pop.
Top with halloween sprinkles.
Halloween sprinkles
Place the apple pop on a sheet of parchment or a metal rack to set.
Repeat steps 3-5 with 9 other apple pops.
Once half are covered in the dark cocoa chocolate and orange drizzle, dip the remaining apple pops in the orange chocolate. Drizzle with the cocoa chocolate and top with the halloween sprinkles.
Place apple pops on the parchment or wire rack.
Allow the apple pops to set and then enjoy!

Notes

Storage:

To Store: These pops are best eaten the same day they are prepared, but you can put them in the fridge for 1 day!

Tips:

Be sure to have everything prepared before you start cutting your apple slices. You want to have any toppings set out and ready plus all your ingredients waiting so that your apples don’t turn brown while waiting to be dipped.
To help to prevent the apple slices from browning you can brush the exposed apple with a little lemon juice or lime juice and they will stay fresh for a few hours.
Don't use the core! I cut my apples into slightly less than 1⁄2 inch slices. If your apples are sliced too thin, the stick will not push in correctly and the apple will be limp.
If you cannot get your popsicle sticks in the apples, put a dab of melted chocolate on one side of the apple and press the stick onto the dab. Allow to set then dip the apples like normal! Also, if your apples are too wet, the chocolate may not coat them well. Try drying the apple flesh with a paper towel before dipping into the chocolate.
If you find your chocolate too thick, add 1 tbsp of crisco to the chocolate and stir well. This will thin it out.
Chocolate covered Halloween apples are so much fun to make. Get creative and decorate with mini chocolate chips, M&Ms, sprinkles, crushed Oreos, chopped nuts, mini marshmallows, shredded coconut, or any of your favorites.
There is really no limit to these types of recipes. Make apple spider snacks by adding a melted white chocolate web; or make monsters, witches, pumpkins, or any kind of spooky slice you can think of!
