Directions

1. For the apples: Remove any labels. Wash apples and remove stem.

2. Insert stick into top of apple.

3. Melt white chocolate chips or candy melts according to package directions in microwave or on stove top. If you want to color the white chocolate, add a few drops each of yellow and red food coloring and stir to make orange.

4. Use a tall cup or glass wide enough for the apple to fit into. (If using microwave, melt the chocolate or candy right in this cup.) Dip apples into melted candy or chocolate until completely covered.

5. Place apple on wax paper.

6. Decorate with chocolate chips to make a face or chocolate sprinkles for a festive apple.

7. Allow to cool and harden on wax paper. You may put them into the refrigerator to speed the process.
