Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Granny Smith apples
- 11 ounces Caramel candies
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 4 ounces White chocolate chips
- 4 ounces Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 12 pieces Candy eye decorations
- 1 cup Sprinkles or crushed cookies
- 6 pieces Wooden skewers or popsicle sticks
- 1 teaspoon Butter (for greasing)
Instructions
Wash and dry the apples thoroughly, then remove any stems and insert a wooden skewer or popsicle stick into the top of each apple.
Line a baking sheet with wax paper and lightly butter it to prevent sticking.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the caramel candies along with the heavy cream, stirring constantly, until smooth and fully combined.
Dip each apple into the melted caramel, turning it to coat evenly. Allow excess caramel to drip off, then place the apple on the prepared baking sheet.
Let the caramel-coated apples sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes to set.
While the caramel is setting, melt the white chocolate chips and semi-sweet chocolate chips in separate bowls using the microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between intervals, until completely melted.
Using a spoon, drizzle the melted white and semi-sweet chocolate over the caramel apples to create spooky designs. Alternatively, dip sections of the apples for a marbled effect.
While the chocolate is still wet, press candy eyes onto the apples and sprinkle with festive toppings like sprinkles or crushed cookies for an eerie effect.
Place the decorated apples in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Let the apples sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for the best texture.
