Ingredients
- 6 medium apples
- 2 cups candy melts (blue)
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- Blue sprinkles
- Wooden sticks or skewers
Instructions
- Wash and thoroughly dry the apples. Remove stems and insert wooden sticks or skewers firmly into the apple centers from the top.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Place blue candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until completely smooth and melted. Stir carefully to avoid burning.
- Hold each apple by the stick and carefully dip into the melted blue candy coating, rotating to ensure complete and even coverage. Gently tap the stick on the bowl's edge to remove excess coating.
- Melt white chocolate chips in a separate microwave-safe bowl using the same gentle melting technique.
- Once blue coating has partially set but is still slightly tacky, drizzle white chocolate in playful zigzag patterns across the blue surface to create a Blue's Clues inspired design.
- Immediately sprinkle blue sprinkles over the wet white chocolate drizzle for added texture and visual appeal.
- Place coated apples on the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to fully set the candy coating.
- Remove from refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving to prevent condensation.
Tips
- Choose firm, fresh apples for the best texture and coating adhesion. Granny Smith or Gala work wonderfully.
- Ensure apples are completely dry before dipping to prevent the candy coating from becoming lumpy.
- Use a candy thermometer or microwave in short intervals to melt chocolate and candy melts evenly without burning.
- Work quickly when drizzling white chocolate to create clean, crisp zigzag patterns.
- Keep sprinkles nearby and ready to apply immediately after drizzling to ensure they stick properly.
- Refrigerate apples on a parchment-lined baking sheet to help the coating set quickly and evenly.
- Let apples sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to prevent condensation and maintain the glossy finish.
- For a professional look, twist the apple slightly while dipping to create a smooth, even coating.
