Description
Peppermint Bark Apples are the ultimate holiday treat, combining crisp fresh apples with rich dark chocolate, sweet white chocolate drizzle, and crunchy crushed candy canes. This festive recipe is perfect for gifting, parties, and cozy seasonal celebrations.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 medium apples (Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala)
- 12 oz dark or semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
- 6 oz white chocolate, chopped
- 1 tbsp coconut oil or shortening (optional)
- 1 cup crushed candy canes or peppermint candies
- Wooden sticks or skewers
Instructions
- Wash and completely dry the apples, removing any wax coating, and insert sticks firmly into the stem end.
- Melt the dark chocolate using a double boiler, stirring until smooth, and mix in coconut oil if using.
- Dip each apple into the melted dark chocolate, rotating to coat evenly, and allow excess chocolate to drip off.
- Place apples on a parchment-lined baking sheet and immediately sprinkle with crushed candy canes, gently pressing to adhere.
- Melt the white chocolate using a double boiler until smooth.
- Drizzle the white chocolate over the apples to create a peppermint bark-style finish.
- Refrigerate for about 20 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
Notes
Make sure apples are completely dry before dipping for proper chocolate adhesion. Use high-quality chocolate for the smoothest finish and best flavor.
