Chocolate Coated Apple Bites

Inspired by the humble toffee apple, these Chocolate Coated Apple Bites attempt to keep to the brilliantly simple concept of having beautifully coated apple on a stick while removing the awkwardness of having to try eat a whole apple coated in sticky toffee.

Ingredients

• 2 Apples
• 150g Dark Chocolate
• 150g White Chocolate

Equipment

• 16 Toothpicks

Directions

Step 1

Core the Apples and then remove a slice from their bottoms so that they have a flat surface and will stand up on their own. Next stick eight toothpicks evenly around the top of each apple.

Step 2

Slice the apple in the spaces between the toothpicks so that you have eight bite size pieces.

Step 3

Melt the dark chocolate and using the toothpicks as a handle, coat the pieces of one of the apples and set them aside on baking paper to allow the chocolate to set.

Step 4

Repeat the process with the white chocolate using the second apple.

Step 5

To serve, using alternating colours, place the apple pieces back onto a plate and surround with mixed nuts. Together they are perfect for use as a nibble plate when you have friends around for a few drinks.
