I don’t think that Valentines has to only be celebrated by you and your significant other. I think it can be celebrate by/for anyone that you love. I also think that it is the perfect excuse to make pink and red chocolate treats.
My niece came over last night and we of course had to get into the kitchen. Her favorite thing to do at my house is wear her little apron and cook.
So we made these Valentines Chocolate Apples.
Super easy and they make they perfect little gift!
Wrap one of these in a cellophane bag, tie with a ribbon and give it to your special Valentines. <3
To get started, you’ll need to insert cookie pop sticks into the tops of the apples.
Next, melt milk chocolate wafers in a large bowl. You can melt them in the microwave or on the stove top. Be sure to follow the package directions.
Once the chocolate is melted, dip each apple into the melted chocolate. Spin to coat the entire apple.
Sit apple on a flat surface that has been lined with foil or wax paper. Let sit for 5 minutes or until chocolate is hardened.
Next, in two separate bowls, melt the white and the red chocolate wafers. Carefully drizzle the red and white chocolate over the apples.
While the drizzle is still wet, add sprinkles.
Let sit for 5 minutes to harden.
For easy slicing, place a apple slicer over the apple and press down.
Perfect chocolate apple slices.

This is the best twist on apples and chocolate! Perfect for kids, so cute you made them with your niece. Gorgeous!
Wow are those impressive!
You make that look so easy! And they are beautiful! As you say, the perfect Be my Valentine gift.
I LOVE chocolate covered apples and yours are so beautiful! Looks better then the ones you buy at gourmet shops!!
I completely agree with you; Valentine’s Day should be about spending time with the ones you love, whether it be your sweetheart, your friends or your family! Giftable sweets are such a great idea for Valentine’s Day and these look perfect! Happy Valentine’s Day!
My mom used to buy these apples that looked like this, except I think they were at least $10 a piece. So simple to make!!!!!
How pretty!!! What a perfectly appropriate treat.
Great idea! Sprinkles are adorable.

There used to be a place by us in Ottawa that did these… dangerously good

Such a great idea for VDay!! Love the Red and White drizzle on the top too 🙂
Thank you, Angie! These are fantastic Valentine’s (and all-year round) treats. My great-nephew is a budding baker/foodie and this would be a fun do-together project =)
