Notes
- Store leftover apples in a plastic zipper bag in the refrigerator for up to three days.
- Plastic wrap everything else on the board (except the caramel – put that in the fridge) if you want to bring it out again in the next day or two! Just remelt the chocolate when you’re ready and set it all up again!
- Use the apples to fill in the holes on the boards. You could also fill them in with larger candies just to finish off the space if you want to turn it into even more of a dessert board. Try things with caramel in them like caramel apple suckers, Rolos, and Twix Bars.
- Melt the chocolate either in the microwave for 30 second increments or by double boiling on the stove until melted smooth. You want them to be completely smooth so that they dip well!
- Pre-poke the apples with the sticks if you’re doing this with younger kids so that the apples and/or sticks don’t all get broken during the sticking process! It’s pretty easy for adults but can be more challenging for the kiddos!
