Candied Apples with a Twist
Traditional
candied apples get an elegant update with white chocolate coating and dark
chocolate stripes. As beautiful as
they are delicious, they're the perfect addition to a Halloween-themed table.
Ingredients:
- Apples
- Tree
sticks
- White
baking chocolate
- Tube
of dark chocolate frosting
- Waxed
paper
Preparation:
- Sand
away any sharp edges on the tree sticks, then sharpen each to a point on
one end.
- Melt
white chocolate in a double boiler over low, even heat until smooth. Be
careful not to get any water in the chocolate. Stir occasionally.
- Pierce
an apple with a stick. Dip the apple into the chocolate; let excess
chocolate drip off. Place on waxed paper.
- Once
all of the apples have been dipped, place them in the refrigerator for 30
minutes.
- When
the chocolate has hardened, use the frosting to draw stripes around each
apple. Let the frosting dry.
