Chocolate Covered Apple Recipe
Place chocolate and shortening into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on medium heat for 1-2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds. Do not overheat! The chocolate is ready when it is completely melted and smooth. Of course, you can always use a double boiler to melt the chocolate if you prefer.  Dip apples into chocolate, twirl to remove excess chocolate. Place on tray and refrigerate for 1 hour or until set.If you would like to dress up your chocolate apples with special toppings, have them ready to sprinkle on as soon as you are done coating the apples. Some great ideas for toppings are coconut, crushed nuts, sprinkles, mini M&M's, or crushed candy canes. You could also drizzle a contrasting chocolate over the top for added decoration. Let your imagination soar! You will find the wooden skewers, a selection of chocolate for melting and a variety of sprinkle toppings at Candyland Crafts.
