Cute Chocolate-Apple Halloween Owl
These spooky-cute owl pops are the perfect Halloween treat! Made with fresh apple slices, rich semi-sweet chocolate, and Oreo decorations, they are as fun to make as they are to eat.
Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Microwave-safe Bowl
Ingredients
Base
- 2 large apples Granny Smith work best
- 23 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 8 wooden sticks 6-inch
Decorations
- 1 bag Oreo cookies for eyes & ears
- 8 Candy Corns for the nose
- Wilton Candy Eyeballs optional
Instructions
- Stand the apples upright on a cutting board. Cut each apple from top to bottom into 4 slices (about ½-inch thick). Gently remove the seeds.
- Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Push the pointed end of a wooden stick into the bottom of each apple slice.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips according to the package directions. To keep the chocolate from hardening, place the bowl into a larger bowl filled with about 2 inches of boiling water.
- Dip each apple slice into the melted chocolate, using a spoon to help coat if needed. Let the extra chocolate drip off, then lay the slice flat on the foil-lined sheet.
- While the chocolate is still wet, decorate: press an Oreo half onto each side for ears, use two Oreo halves or candy eyeballs for eyes, and place a candy corn at the bottom for the beak. Use a tiny dot of melted chocolate to glue on candy eyeballs.
- Refrigerate the sheet for 10–15 minutes until the chocolate is firm. If you like, tie a ribbon around each stick. Serve and enjoy your spooky-cute owls!
