Chocolate Peanut Butter Coated Apples
A new, delicious twist on the traditional caramel apple! These are ideal for fall when
you have an overabundance of apples, but don’t discount them for other holidays and
occassions! Simply change the color of the sprinkles or other decorations to fit the
season or event.
Editor’s note: For children with allergies to peanuts, replace the peanut butter chips
with butterscotch or mint for a different twist!
You will need:
12 wooden ice cream sticks
12 medium apples, stems removed
1 package (10 ounces) peanut butter chips
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2/3 cup confectioners’ sugar
2/3 cup cocoa
Optional for decorating apples:
chopped peanut butter chips
chopped or mini chocolate chips
chopped vanilla chips
flaked coconut
colored spinkles
chopped nuts
What you do:
Insert wooden stick into each washed and dried apple. Cover a baking sheet or tray with
waxed paper.
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, stir together peanut butter chips and oil. Microwave on
high 1-1/2 minutes or until chips are softened. Stir until melted.
Stir together confectioners’ sugar and cocoa; gradually add to melted chip mixture,
stirring until smooth. Microwave on high 1 minute or until very warm.
Dip apples into mixture, twirling to remove excess coating. (If coating becomes too
thick, return to microwave for a few seconds). Roll coated apple in chopped chips or
coconut if desired, or sprinkle toppings onto apples. Allow to cool on prepared baking
sheet or tray.
