Melt each of the chocolate colors separately in bowls in the microwave.
Heat 30 seconds at a time, stirring each time until melted.
p some pretzels into the red chocolate and completely coat, then dip some pretzels into the white chocolate and only coat about half of the pretzels. Lay on parchment paper to dry.
Dip the half red covered pretzels into the white chocolate to coat the other half, and put 3 little dark coloured sprinkles or chocolate chips to resemble apple seeds.
Next, cut little rectangular pieces of Hershey’s chocolate for the stem, and put a dot of melted chocolate on the end of a stick on the top of the apple.
For the apple leaves, flatten a tootsie roll and cut tiny leaf shapes out.
Put a dot of melted chocolate on it and place under the stem.
Let them set and dry, and then give to your favourite teacher!
Finally, enjoy or take to school as a wonderful leaving gift!
Notes
Use fresh, high-quality pretzels and chocolate melts for the best taste and appearance.
Gently press the apple seeds and leaves into the melted chocolate before it sets to ensure they adhere properly.
Allow the chocolate to harden completely at room temperature or refrigerate briefly to speed up the process.
