Patriotic Candy Apples
These patriotic candy apples are coated with premium white chocolate and sprinkles - perfect for memorial day or 4th of July!
Servings: 6 apples
Calories: 102cal
Ingredients
- 10 ounces white chocolate morsels
- 6 Granny Smith Apples washed, dried, wax removed
- 1 tablespoon Patriotic Sprinkles
- 1-2 drops blue food gel
Instructions
- Carefully wash and dry each apple. You will want to remove the wax, and keep the apple dry. If you get even a drop of water into the chocolate it WILL ruin the consistency!
- Heat chocolate over low heat on a double boiler. You will want it to be really creamy.
- Carefully insert a wooden stick into each apple
- Dip each apple into the chocolate and use a fork to spread the chocolate near the stem area
- Place each apple on the wax paper lined baking sheet
- Once each apple is coated, sprinkle with patriotic sprinkles. *Please note if you use candy melts, you will want to decorate after each apple is dipped because that stuff hardens super quickly!
- Once all apples are done, add food coloring to the remaining chocolate, stir and then drizzle on the blue chocolate onto your apples.
- Place apples in the fridge and allow to harden for at least 30 minutes
Notes
TIPS
Carefully wash and dry each apple. You will want to remove the wax, and keep the apple dry. I do this by using warm water and a soft scrubbie to gently cleanse the apples. Do not use hot water or that will boil them and turn them brown on the inside.
Be sure to dry them completely because if you get even a drop of water into the chocolate it WILL ruin the consistency!
These can be packaged for gifting and are best enjoyed within 3 days.
