How To Make Gourmet Chocolate Covered Apples 8 Steps

The apples will take to the coating better if they’re cold. Put them in the fridge while you’re preparing everything else.

When it comes to add-ons, virtually anything works. Whatever it is, just make sure it’s in fine pieces. Crush your Oreos and nuts, mash your Butterfingers and Reese’s, and use mini M&Ms. Place your topping in a separate, wide-brimmed bowl. An extra chocolate drizzle will score you points for presentation. When you melt the semisweet chocolate, melt an extra bowl of white chocolate (4 oz will do) to drizzle over the tops.

If the bits next to the Popsicle stick are proving a bit hard to reach, grab a spoon and dash on a pinch to any hard to reach spots. Even it out; the layering should be equal on all sides.

If you’re using a drizzle, place the apples on the cookie sheet, Popsicle stick up. Then, simply take a spoonful of your drizzle and hold it about six inches (15 cm) above your apples, creating lines of varying thickness across the paper.
