Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Large apples (preferably red and green for color contrast)
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup White chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoons Coconut oil (or vegetable oil)
- optional Fondant decorations (bows, roses, etc.)
- 0.5 teaspoons Black food coloring gel
- 2 pieces Lollipop or skewer sticks
- 1 piece Piping bag or zip-top bag
- optional Sprinkles or sugar pearls
- 1 sheet Parchment paper
Instructions
Wash and thoroughly dry the apples to remove wax and ensure the chocolate adheres properly. Insert a skewer or lollipop stick into the top of each apple.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon of coconut oil in 15-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips with the remaining 1 teaspoon of coconut oil in 15-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
To make the 'groom' apple: Dip one apple into the semi-sweet chocolate, spinning to ensure it is evenly coated, then place it on parchment paper to set. After it hardens slightly, use the white chocolate to pipe a 'shirt' by creating a V-shape at the front, leaving the 'jacket' dark. Add buttons and a bow tie with the semi-sweet chocolate using a piping bag.
To make the 'bride' apple: Dip the second apple into the white chocolate, covering it completely. While still wet, sprinkle it with sugar pearls or sprinkles for a 'lace' effect. Once dry, use the semi-sweet chocolate and a piping bag to create delicate patterns or add fondant flowers for a finishing touch.
For added detail, color a small portion of the remaining white chocolate with black food coloring gel to pipe intricate accents like a veil or tuxedo elements.
Allow both apples to fully set at room temperature or in the refrigerator for 10 minutes. Serve them upright with the sticks for easy handling.
