Butter: Just a few tablespoons help melt the marshmallows smoothly, adding richness and flavor to the coating. Don’t run out; it’s a kitchen hero!

Firm Apples: Choose fresh apples that are crisp and juicy. Granny Smiths or Honeycrisps work wonders, adding a nice balance between tartness and sweetness.
Sturdy Sticks: These could be anything from wooden skewers to decorative holiday sticks—the choice is yours! They make handling the apples a breeze.

Non-stick Spray: A quick spray on the baking sheet helps prevent any sticky messes when you place your marshmallow-coated apples down to chill.
Dark Chocolate Candy Coating: This base adds a creamy layer and rich taste that complements the marshmallow perfectly. You can easily find it in bark or wafer form.
White Chocolate Candy Coating: A drizzle on top not only looks lovely but adds an extra layer of sweetness, making your apples pop! Again, bark or wafers are great options.

How to Make Marshmallow Dipped Apples

Prepare Apples

First things first, washing your apples is essential. Rinse them under cold running water to remove any dirt or wax. Once clean, dry each apple with a soft towel. Make sure they’re completely dry because a damp surface can make the marshmallow coating slide right off. Trust me, that step is vital for a deliciously fun treat like Marshmallow Dipped Apples. Once dry, remove the stems and insert sturdy sticks into the tops of the apples. This makes them easy to hold and dip later on!

Coat with Marshmallow Mixture

Now, let’s get to the fun part—melting those marshmallows! In a saucepan, combine the Campfire® HallowMallows and butter over medium heat. Stir gently until the mixture becomes smooth and gooey, resembling a dreamy marshmallow puddle. Grab a spoon and generously coat each apple with this delightful mixture, leaving some areas of the apple exposed for a beautiful, rustic effect! This layering allows the tartness of the apple to peek through, enhancing the flavor experience. Place each coated apple onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let the magic begin!

Chill

After coating, it’s time to chill out! Place those marshmallow-coated apples in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes. This step allows the marshmallow layer to set properly, creating a lovely foundation for your chocolate coating. Plus, it helps those flavors meld together nicely.

Coat with Dark Chocolate

Once your apples are chilled, you can melt your dark chocolate candy coating. You can do this in a microwave or over a double boiler. If using a microwave, heat in short bursts, stirring in between to keep it smooth. Once melted, it’s time to dip! Hold each apple by its stick and dip it into the luscious dark chocolate, making sure to cover most but not all the marshmallow layer. This will create a stunning two-tone effect. Let any excess chocolate drip off and place the apples back on the baking sheet. Chill them again for a few moments until the chocolate sets!

Drizzle with White Chocolate

Now comes the final touch! Melt the white chocolate candy coating in the same way as before. Once it’s nice and smooth, drizzle it over the dark chocolate layer. It’s best to use a spoon to create a delicate pattern rather than pouring it all at once. This adds a lovely visual appeal without overwhelming the chocolate below. Returning the apples to the fridge for a quick chill ensures everything sets perfectly and flavors meld together beautifully!

Serve

Finally, here’s where the fun meets function. You can serve the Marshmallow Dipped Apples on their sticks for a festive touch or slice them into wedges and arrange them on a platter for easy sharing. You can even sprinkle some crushed nuts or colorful sprinkles on top for added flair! Either way, they’ll be a hit.

Tips for Success

Use fresh, firm apples for the best flavor and crunch.
Make sure your marshmallows are completely melted for smooth coating.

Don’t rush the chilling times; they ensure each layer sets properly.
Experiment with different kinds of chocolate for unique flavor profiles.
Let the melted chocolate cool slightly before dipping to avoid drips.

Equipment Needed

Medium Saucepan: Perfect for melting marshmallows and butter. A microwave-safe bowl works as an alternative.
Baking Sheet: Essential for chilling your apples. Parchment paper can be used for easy cleanup.
Spoons: For coating and drizzling. Sturdy spatulas can also do the trick when needed.

Sticks: Wooden skewers or decorative sticks for easy handling; toothpicks are a quick substitute.

Variations

Nutty Delight: Sprinkle crushed nuts, like almonds or pecans, over the chocolate layer for an extra crunch and flavor boost!
Caramel Swirl: Drizzle warm caramel sauce over the chocolate layer for a decadently sweet twist. Who doesn’t love caramel with apples?

Colorful Sprinkles: Add a festive touch with colorful sprinkles before the chocolate sets. It’s perfect for holidays and kids’ parties!
Flavor-Infused Chocolate: Try adding a few drops of mint or orange extract to the melted chocolate for a flavor boost that surprises the taste buds!
Vegan Option: Use dairy-free chocolate coatings and coconut oil as a substitute for butter to make a vegan version that everyone can enjoy.

Serving Suggestions

Pair your Marshmallow Dipped Apples with a warm cup of spiced apple cider for a cozy treat.
Serve alongside a platter of assorted cheeses for a balanced dessert spread.
Use colorful paper plates to enhance the festive presentation, especially for parties.

Consider a fruit dip, like caramel or chocolate sauce, for an interactive dessert experience.
For a fun twist, add edible glitter on top for a magical finish!
