Chocolate Apples

Quicker than toffee apples and less likely to break your teeth! Great for Halloween, either plain, with smarties or some cake sprinkles. If you leave them plain just add some sweets or plastic halloweeny thing to the tray.   



Ingredients

12 Dessert Apples

12 Wooden Sticks

1kg Milk Chocolate

Method

Insert the wooden sticks into the cores of the apples at the stem.

Cover a large baking tray with greaseproof paper.

Place the chocolate into a glass bowl and set over a pan of simmering water. Stir frequently until melted. Remove from the heat.

Dip the apples into the melted chocolate, turning to coat completely. Leave them plain as I did or roll in some Smarties or cake sprinkles then place on the baking tray. Repeat with remaining apples. 

Allow apples to set at room temperature until the chocolate is firm, about 20 minutes, before serving.
