Jack Skellington Chocolate Covered Apples
Jack Skellington Chocolate Covered Apples are an easy and impressive Halloween treat! These are a great alternative to a plain candy apples recipe. Especially if any of your friends or family are The Nightmare Before Christmas fans!
2CupsWhite Chocolate Morsels(white chocolate melts can be used instead)
2TablespoonsCoconut Oil or Shortening**
Black Icing
4Popsicle Sticks
Black & White Washi Tapeoptional
Fine Tip Paint Brush
Instructions
Cover popsicle sticks with washi tape.
Wash and dry apples. Remove stems and insert sticks.
Melt white chocolate and oil/shortening in microwave. Stir every 20-30 seconds. Heat until almost smooth (about 1 minute) then stir vigorously until all chocolate is melted.(You’ll want to use a dish or cup that is not much wider than your apples and deep enough to fully submerge the apple.)
Let melted chocolate cool for 2-3 minutes.
Dip and allow the excess to drip off.
Transfer to plate covered with wax paper. Immediately transfer apples to refrigerator. (To prevent chocolate puddles at base, spin apples after refrigerating for 2-3 minutes. This will remove the excess chocolate at bottom.)
Once chocolate has fully cooled (5-10 minutes) dip in melted chocolate one more time, repeating process.
After second chocolate coating has fully cooled, begin painting the Jack Skellington face.
Use a fine tip brush for painting.
Notes
*Chocolate Covered Apples are a messy treat. The chocolate will break apart while eating. You have been warned* **edited 10/2015
