5. Once your apple is fully dipped! Dip or roll your apple in the peanuts or M&M’s. You can even press some toppings onto the chocolate for an extra pop of flavor.

Important Recipe Notes

Use firm, crisp green apples like Granny Smith for the best tart and crunchy contrast with the chocolate.
Make sure your chocolate is melted slowly and stirred well to avoid burning or clumping.
If you don’t have lollipop sticks, wooden craft sticks or even sturdy skewers work great.
Work quickly when dipping and adding toppings, as the chocolate sets fast at room temperature.
Place dipped apples on wax paper or parchment to prevent sticking.
For faster setting, chill the apples in the fridge after dipping.
Feel free to customize toppings—try crushed nuts, sprinkles, or mini chocolate chips for variety.
These are best enjoyed the same day but can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
