What You’ll Need

Let’s Make Some Magic!
Step 1: Alright, first up, give those apples a good wash and dry them off completely. Slice ’em into thick-ish rounds, maybe about a half-inch. Then, carefully carve a little slot at the bottom of each slice for your popsicle stick. Here’s a pro tip: Dab the cut sides of the apple with a paper towel. A dry apple means the chocolate will actually stick and not slide right off.
Step 2: Time for the chocolate. Toss your chocolate chips in a bowl you can pop in the microwave. Zap it for 30 seconds, give it a good stir, and then keep zapping in 15-second shots until it’s perfectly melty and delicious.
Step 3: This is where the magic happens. Dunk an apple pop into that glorious melted chocolate, and use a spoon to help coat it all over.
Step 4: You gotta move fast here! While the chocolate is still wet and gooey, go wild with the sprinkles, eyeballs, and bones. Get them all decorated and then lay them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper so they don’t become a sticky mess.
Step 5: Slide that baking sheet into the fridge for 15, maybe 20 minutes. You’re just waiting for the chocolate to get hard. And boom, you’re done!
