Chocolate Dipped Apples

Dear Readers,

I'll be out of town, visiting family for the next week or so. In the interim, I have scheduled posts for some of my favorite seasonal recipes from last year, yummy sounding recipes from other websites and a few new ones sprinkled in. I hope you enjoy them and will continue to join me along the way!

Tips:

• You can use any type of candy or nut to roll the apples in. Be creative!

Chocolate Dipped Apples

10 small Granny Smith apples

1/2 cup chopped roasted peanuts, optional

1/2 cup candy-coated milk chocolate candies

2 pounds semisweet chocolate, chopped

  

Insert wooden craft sticks or lollipop sticks into the cores of the apples at the stem. Place the roasted peanuts and candies on separate plates. Set aside.

Place the chocolate into a metal or glass bowl and set over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir frequently until melted. Remove from the heat. Dip apples into the melted chocolate, turning to coat completely. Dip or roll in candy or nuts, then place on a sheet of waxed paper. Repeat with remaining apples. Allow apples to set at room temperature until the chocolate is firm, about 20 minutes, before serving.
