Medium or small size apples

Sugar free candy corns for facial features

Directions:

Insert popsicle sticks into the apples. Then put the apples in the fridge while you melt the chocolate in the microwave or a double boiler. If you are melting your chocolate in the microwave, heat in short bursts so the chocolate doesn't burn. Once your chocolate is melted add a few drops of Wilton's orange candy color until you are satisfied with the color.

Once you are satisfied with the color, dip the apples in the chocolate. Once the apples are covered in chocolate use the sugar free candy corns to create facial features such as the mouth, nose and smile.
