Chocolate Covered Apples

1. 1

   Twist off the stems from the apples and push a Popsicle stick down into the core.

2. 2

   Put the apples in the fridge while preparing the chocolate; they'll coat better if they're cold.

3. 3

   Slowly melt the chocolate in a double boiler over hot water or in a microwave set on high for 2 minutes, stirring halfway through the heating time to smooth it out.

4. 4

   Remove from the heat and stir until completely melted and warm, not hot.

5. 5

   Dunk each apple into the chocolate, allowing the excess to drip back into the bowl.

6. 6

   Roll the apples around in the chocolate, turning with the stick, so it's coated all the way up to the top.

7. 7

   Use a spoon to baste any hard to get spots.

8. 8

   Put the desired coating in a separate bowl and roll the dipped apple around so it is completely covered.

9. 9

   Set the chocolate dipped apples on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper.

10. 10

    Refrigerate until the chocolate is set.
