Spooky Poison Apple Pops Recipe
These Poison Apple Pops are made by dipping apples in chocolate and decorating them to resemble sinister poison apples. The recipe takes about 30 minutes to prepare and cool, making it a quick Halloween recipe that serves 8 pops.
Ingredients
- 8 medium apples (Granny Smith recommended)
- 2 cups dark chocolate chips
- 1 cup green candy melts
- 8 lollipop sticks
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (for chocolate melting)
- Edible glitter or sprinkles (optional for decoration)
Instructions
- Prepare the Apples: Wash and dry the apples thoroughly. Insert a lollipop stick into the top of each apple, pushing it about halfway through.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
- Dip the Apples: Dip each apple into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing the apple on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Cool the Chocolate: Place the dipped apples in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
- Melt the Candy Melts: In a separate bowl, melt the green candy melts in the microwave using the same method as the chocolate. Once melted, drizzle or dip the cooled chocolate apples in the green candy melts to create a poison effect.
- Add Finishing Touches: If desired, sprinkle edible glitter or sprinkles on the apples while the candy melts are still wet. Allow the pops to cool completely before serving.
