Start by inserting your lollipop sticks or wooden craft sticks into the core of each apple, right at the stem.
Place your chopped peanuts and M&M's (or whatever toppings you fancy) in separate bowls.
Place your chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat it in 30-second bursts, stirring in between.
Time to get dipping! Hold your apple by the stick and submerge it into the melted chocolate, twirling it around to coat it completely.
Once your apple is fully dipped, it’s time to add the fun part! 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.
Place your chocolate-covered apples onto a sheet of waxed paper and allow them to set at room temperature until the chocolate firms up.
