Scale
Chocolate Coating
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 2 Tbsp. coconut oil
- 4 Granny Smith apples
Black Icing Decoration
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tsp. corn syrup
- 2 Tbsp. milk
- Black food coloring
Instructions
- Prepare the Chocolate Coating: In a large bowl, melt together the white chocolate chips and coconut oil until fully smooth.
- Dip the Apples: Hold each Granny Smith apple by the stem and dip into the melted white chocolate mixture, ensuring they are fully coated. Place the coated apples on a baking tray lined with a cooling rack for excess chocolate to drip off. Refrigerate for 10 minutes or until the coating is hardened.
- Make the Black Icing: In another large bowl, combine powdered sugar, milk, corn syrup, and black food coloring. Mix until smooth and transfer the icing to a piping bag or sealed ziploc bag for decorating.
- Decorate the Apples: Using the piping bag, carefully pipe the characteristic facial features of Jack Skellington—eyes, nose, and lips—onto each coated apple.
- Set the Decorations: Allow the decorated apples to rest for another 10 minutes to let the icing harden completely before serving.
Notes
- Use Granny Smith apples for a tart flavor that contrasts nicely with the sweet white chocolate.
- If black food coloring is unavailable, combine blue and red food coloring to achieve a dark shade for the facial features.
- Refrigerate the apples again if chocolate or icing softens before serving.
- Make sure the apples are dry before dipping to help the chocolate adhere better.
