Be sure to check out my recipe video so you can see just how easy these are to make, and look out for more fun bonfire night recipe ideas in the video too!
These dark chocolate dipped apples are really easy to make and a fun cooking project for the kids.
You can make as many as you need, so they’d be a lovely treat for a bonfire night party, or if you don’t celebrate bonfire night, they’d be perfect for New Year's eve party food too!
In order to completely coat the apples in chocolate you’ll need to use quite a lot of it and there will be some left over, so to help you avoid wasting it you’ll find several easy recipes to use up the leftovers here on the blog, like my easy toffee apple popcorn chocolate bark, these yummy dark chocolate fruit and nut buttons, this fun dark chocolate Halloween popcorn, my ever popular marshmallow penguins or these tasty chocolate dipped marshmallows.
Firework Dark Chocolate Dipped Apples
Ingredients:
- 300g dark chocolate
- 3 or 4 small apples
- hundreds and thousands
- star sprinkles
- mini rainbow chocolate beans
Method:
Prepare the apples – wash and polish them, remove the stalks, then turn them over and firmly push a cake pop or lollipop stick into the bottom of each apple.
Line a small baking tray or plate with baking paper.
Break up the dark chocolate and place it in a microwave safe bowl.
Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30 second bursts, stirring between each one to ensure it melts evenly. Be careful not to overheat or burn the chocolate, heat only until just melted and smooth.
Pour the chocolate into a small, deep bowl – a small pudding basin is perfect for this.
Holding them by the sticks, dip each apple in the chocolate, turning them until they are completely coated.
Allow any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl, then place each apple on the lined tray, stick side up.
Working quickly, decorate each chocolate coated apple with the sprinkles, starting with the smaller hundreds and thousands, then the star sprinkles then a scattering of mini chocolate beans.
Place the apples in the fridge to chill until the chocolate is completely hard and set.
Enjoy!
