How to Make Halloween Caramel Apple
- Wash, dry, and remove stems from 6 medium apples. Insert lollipop sticks into the top of each apple.
- Line a baking sheet with wax paper and lightly coat with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine unwrapped caramels and 2 tablespoons of water.
- Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until caramels are completely melted and smooth.
- Dip each apple into the melted caramel, spooning caramel over the apples to ensure complete coverage. Let excess caramel drip back into the bowl.
- Place caramel-coated apples on the prepared baking sheet.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until caramel is firm.
- In a separate microwave-safe bowl or saucepan, melt 8 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips with 2 tablespoons of shortening until smooth.
- Once the caramel is firm, spoon melted chocolate around the bottom half of each apple.
- Return apples to the baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until chocolate is set.
- Melt orange candy melts according to package directions.
- Transfer melted candy melts to a quart-sized ziptop bag. Snip a tiny corner off one bottom corner of the bag.
- Pipe orange candy melts onto each apple in a decorative zigzag pattern.
- Place decorated apples back on the baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
