I use coconut oil with them instead. I find that they dip easier and it makes them shinier. With the crisco added, once they sit, they start having a chalky, chewy, thick like texture. The coconut oil makes for a better taste and better texture.
I make these too, and those are beautiful. However, just a suggestion. When you do the drizzle pink, white or any color over the apples, try to use different parchment paper for each color. That's a lot of wasted chocolate. You can put them in a zip loc bag, melt and reuse it. I do it all the time.
Yea I try not to waste any chocolate. In the beginning I did use to waste not knowing or should I say, not thinking, but the more you do it you learn. Thank you! I actually saved it though and reused it. I still today blend certain colors to make different shades and colors. But any suggestions or advice you have is definitely welcomed.
I will now incorporate this tip in my work. I am constantly using chocolate for drizzles in my business! This will help me save so much chocolate! Thanks 🙏🏾
Wow. I didn’t even realize these were so easy to make! 💕 thanks for sharing. Trying these for my mother & grandmother for Mother’s Day then I might start my own business
Can you refrigerate these without them melting? Like can I make them the day before a party and put them in the fridge & still display then next without them melting? Beautiful work!!
Thank You♥️i keep mine out in a cool dry place if I’m doing them for a party, except the stuffed ones but either way they will be fine. Just make sure to store them in an airtight container.
You don’t under how bad you’d just helped me!! And saved my life!! 😂😂 now I can make these for my sons birthday coming up! Thank you soooo much! They look amazing 😍
Hello I loved Your video.... can you please tell me how much exactly shortening did you use??? And do I need to add shortening to every bag? Thank you so much for your Amazing apples.... Sending you much love From Texas🙏💜🥰
Thank You♥️ You use as much as you need for the consistency you want. Start with a small amount (maybe about a tsp). If you happen to add too much just add more melts.
@@QueensUniqueDesigns Thank You So Much!🙏 And Please Keep On Inspiring us With Your Beautiful And Delicious 💝 Sweets 💜 God Bless You, Beautiful Soul 🙌🙏😊
Love it , glad found your videos show and great help me understanding it how do it , going keep up watching your videos show and thanks Question when dip apple do left while dry or in refrigerator??? Second plastic border with bow....u said left in freezer while then make filling bow , put in refrigerator?..
I’m making chocolate covered apples for a birthday party soon & wasn’t sure if Wilton candy melts are the best way to go cause I’ve seen so many different reviews on them. Do you feel as thou the candy melts are East to work with?
Lighter Melts are usually more difficult therefore you will add more oil to get the melts to the consistency you want. Chocomaker brand does really well and they now have red and blue along with the white and chocolate or you can buy white and add candy color to it. I use both Wilton’s and Chocomaker melts. The more you use them the better you will get at getting them to the consistency you need.
There is no time limit on it. You can put oil in before putting in the microwave, during the melting process or after. Either way, put candy in the microwave in 10-15 sec increments. Add oil to get candy to the consistency you want.
I make most of my treats the night before. I wrap and leave it out for presentation purposes. If you place in the fridge, make sure to place them in an airtight container.
That was the biggest struggle in the beginning for me and occasionally it can still happen. Make sure your chocolate is not too hot before dipping. Also depending on how thick your chocolate is, you may not need to shake off as much excess if it looks as though it’s about to happen. That honestly almost made me stop doing apples in the beginning but it takes work and more and more practice. But if it begins to look that way, sanding sugar and decorations are your best friend. Also the type of chocolate makes a difference.
Yes it’s ok to melt them that way. I’ve never used coconut oil but I’ve heard of people having a bad experience with it but it’s all abt trial and error and figuring out what works best for you. You can also use vegetable oil
You can use whichever apples you prefer. I like the tangy sweet flavor together. I never use the darker red because both, the apple and chocolate are so sweet. But it’s your preference and there are other apples to use.
All I do before dipping my apples is wash them or place them in a bowl of hot water from the tap. I don’t do the boiling method for these. Boiling method helps the most when doing candied apples, in my opinion.
Many things go into consideration with pricing such as size of the apple, design, quality of chocolate and work, as well as pricing in your area. Cost can be $7-12, more or less.
Why coconut oil???? We samoans never use the oil to cook with. It really dont help any. I dont get why its a huge fad now. Massage. For body and hair thats it.not for eating
If I do these a day before do I have to store them in the refrigerator until Its times to take them out ? And they will not melt if I have them out in display for the party ??
They look gorgeous !! I’m giving my daughter a baby shower and to buy the apples are just too expensive . I need 125 are they expensive to make ? An where did you find the plastic containers for the apples ? Thank you
Ive made these before. The crisco makes them a chewy thick like texture. Use coconut oil instead. They come out fabulous and it makes them shiny. And if yu like chocolate covered strawberries then make some modeling chocolate. Dip a stick in the chocolate, then into the strawberry big side down. Then cookie cut circles in the chocolate and cover them around the strawberries and form a rose.
Try 10-15 second increments in the microwave and stir well everytime even if it hasn’t melted. If you notice it’s not a liquid add more oil or shortening and stir well.
Approximately how much chocolate did you need to do 12 apples? I have an order coming up and I want to factor in cost. Also! Do you notice a funny taste with the Wilton chocolate. I got some not too long ago and it tasted awful!
No I haven’t had that experience nor have anyone complained. Now purple is a whole other story. I prefer to mix colors like red and blue than buy the purple or just color it.
Shereka's World late reply but apparently something happened in production resulting in some bad chocolate. Seems to be fixed now. Just used the Wilton’s choco melts and they turned out super beautiful.
Yea they work really well and turns out smoother with or without oil. Darker candy melts are easier than whites or lights too without having to do as much. Just takes getting use to and practice.
Hi! I tried making these apples. When I dipped them, the cany melts seized. I am wondering is there some steps here that was not shown or mentioned? Was I suppose to leave the apples out overnight &/or was I suppose to wash then in boiling water?
Btw, my apples were bone dry & the candy melts only seized on the apples as I pulled them out of the candy melts. I still used them, I just made it work...lbvs. They still turned out pretty after I was done fixing them up...lol.
Make sure candy melts cool down but not to the point of solidifying. I don’t usually have my candy melts as thin as I may with other treats either. It takes practice to know what dipping techniques work best especially with apples. I struggle still sometimes with them.
Wilton’s but you can also use Ghirardelli’s (melts easier without any or little additions) white chocolate and add a pink candy color to it. There are also other brands of colored melts at Michael’s or other craft stores you can use.
Trust me the white is a task. I always add shortening or vegetable oil in it from the very beginning and it usually takes more, in my opinion, than the others. Some of them you get you will even notice little small pieces that don’t like to melt. You really need to stir very well and use enough thinning product to get it to a good consistency.
@@QueensUniqueDesigns Thank you so much because I have been doing them the past few days and my friends at school are actually buying them, just it is something about that white lol
My bowl came with my candy warmer. It doesn’t have the handles anymore. Try heating it in 10 second intervals stirring everytime regardless if its melted or not. Once most of it has melted, you should be able to stir it really well until the rest melts. Add oil or shortening if needed to get the consistency you need.
Hi, love the video! You did a beautiful job! I would like to make these for a baby shower. How do you normally store the apples and strawberries once they are made?
Thank you♥️I usually do my treats the night before and keep them out. As long as they are stored in a dry cool place. If I have time I usually do strawberries the morn of the event but they will still be ok the night before as well.
I don’t do the “boiling water” method for these. I do soak them in very hot water from the sink and dry them. I haven’t had any issues doing them this way thus far.
No, not to set the candy on the apples. The candy melts usually set pretty well at room temperature. I like to make treats the night before or the day of events therefore I package them and leave them out. They are fine as long as they are in a cool, dry place.
I don’t unless I stuff them the night before I plan to use them. But I avoid it because I don’t want the chocolate to sweat and if you do, let them sit out in room temp a while first before cutting it. That may help
Things like Crisco, vegetable oil, or paramount crystals helps to get the candy melts to the consistency you need for dipping. Start by adding small amounts at a time.
I just have to say that this is the best DIY video I have seen all year and you didn't talk once! lol smh I wasn't even looking for this but I am so glad that I found it.....I just subscribe GREAT JOB!!!!!
Beautiful !!! WOW!! they turned out really pretty, I love this video :) congratulations!! Now please, can you tell us where you oreder your supplies, the chocolate, and those plastic containers for the apples and sticks, oh and the plastic bows :) Thank you so much. I want to make these apples :)
Thank you♥️I order most of my stuff off of Amazon like the plastic containers for the apples and the bow molds. And I purchase most of my other supplies such as candy and plastic bags and sticks from Walmart and sometimes Michael’s.
Banana World, candy doesn’t stick because the wax is still on the apples. Place apples in boiling water for about 15 seconds take out and dry with towel thoroughly and the candy should stay. Many videos on how to properly clean your apples. Good luck.
I tried this yesterday but my chocolate applied over the apples a bit clumpy. How do you know when the chocolate has fully melted properly? Do you know exactly how many times it has to be heated up for 15 seconds? I was really hoping to get beautiful apples like yours😭
You don’t have to keep heating if you see bits still in there. I microwave in 15 sec intervals until it is the consistency I want. Stirring between each interval even if it doesn’t look like it’s melting. Sometimes you can stir until it’s all melted and if it’s too thick, add oil to thin it out but chocolate has to cool before applying to the apple but not enough to set. If it begin setting put it back in the microwave for 10-15 seconds and stir well. It’s a process and takes trial and error because apples can be tricky sometimes, even for me at times. Keep trying, you’ll get there. Try dipping and let excess drip off without shaking, then scrape the bottom and see if that helps. Sometimes I try different methods depending on the chocolate I use too!
@@QueensUniqueDesigns cool thanks the boil method takes forever you have to wait 24 hrs before you can do anything b.c. of the sap... I never did chocolate covered apples I'm going to try this t.f.s
Zaria Zee I just used Wilton brand chocolate melts and I had no issues with the chocolate sticking to the apples. If you are experiencing the chocolate not sticking, try dipping the apples in hot water with a little apple cider vinegar to remove the wax coating and allow them to sit for 24 hours to dry out. Make sure you wipe them off really good before you dip them in the chocolate. Sometimes the wax on the apples won’t allow the chocolate to stick.
I use coconut oil with them instead. I find that they dip easier and it makes them shinier. With the crisco added, once they sit, they start having a chalky, chewy, thick like texture. The coconut oil makes for a better taste and better texture.
Thanks for the advice. I’ll try that

I wash mine then sit in a bowl of really hot water, not boiled, while turning them and dry them.
I'm a beginner...this is perfect

Can the melts be placed over a double broiler to melt them faster? And instead of using shortening can I use coconut oil?

Good job Reka
Thank You!
I love this can't wait to try i think ill use coconut oil instead of shortening
You can use coconut oil, vegetable oil, shortening, or they have pellets too that are like shortening chips you can mix in.
Why coconut oil???? We samoans never use the oil to cook with. It really dont help any. I dont get why its a huge fad now. Massage. For body and hair thats it.not for eating
Owna Maye coconut oil helps thin out the melted chocolate
Ive tried the coconut oil and the chocolate wouldnt harden!! Maybe i put too much.. Idk
@@emilyenriquez7553 yes it's happened to me plenty of times lol I may try shortening because the chocolate didnt change too much in consistency
I love this!
Thank You!
If I do these a day before do I have to store them in the refrigerator until Its times to take them out ? And they will not melt if I have them out in display for the party ??
I always do mine the night before and leave them out as long as the area is dry and cool, they’re fine.
How much shortening do you add?
Do you keep on melting or warming up the candy after every apple?
No, the candy in your bowl won’t start solidifying that fast.
They look gorgeous !! I’m giving my daughter a baby shower and to buy the apples are just too expensive . I need 125 are they expensive to make ? An where did you find the plastic containers for the apples ? Thank you

@Robert&Sheree Jones Right! Sometimes they will have you like, “what did I do wrong” but like you said, the right decor can sometimes cover the flaws.
What’s the brand of the candy melt
Wilton’s but you can also use Ghirardelli’s (melts easier without any or little additions) white chocolate and add a pink candy color to it. There are also other brands of colored melts at Michael’s or other craft stores you can use.
How was you able to get the white candy melted all the way? Mine would never melt all the way
Trust me the white is a task. I always add shortening or vegetable oil in it from the very beginning and it usually takes more, in my opinion, than the others. Some of them you get you will even notice little small pieces that don’t like to melt. You really need to stir very well and use enough thinning product to get it to a good consistency.
@@QueensUniqueDesigns Thank you so much because I have been doing them the past few days and my friends at school are actually buying them, just it is something about that white lol

Where did you get the bow pan from??
Amazon
Awesome video! May I ask what type of bowl you are using for meeting the candy? I’ve tried everything and still burn them!
My bowl came with my candy warmer. It doesn’t have the handles anymore. Try heating it in 10 second intervals stirring everytime regardless if its melted or not. Once most of it has melted, you should be able to stir it really well until the rest melts. Add oil or shortening if needed to get the consistency you need.
Turn the power down on your microwave that will help!!!
Di you refrigerate or just let them dry out?
Estrella Cortes Either way is fine. I leave them out to set. They will set pretty quickly.

Thank you for this video. People in my treat group made me think I had to boil the apples in vinegar and baking soda first to remove the wax 🤦♀️
You can if you choose to. That really helps when making “candied” apples so that you don’t have those bubbles and have a smooth apple after dipping.

Thank you so much beautiful job I really like it and I'm going to try
Did you refrigerate at all?
No, not to set the candy on the apples. The candy melts usually set pretty well at room temperature. I like to make treats the night before or the day of events therefore I package them and leave them out. They are fine as long as they are in a cool, dry place.
Do I have to remove the wax off the apples before dipping them?
I placed mine in a bowl of hot water, turning them. Didn’t do the bowling water method and I made sure to dry them really well.
Shereka's World thank you! ☺️
Do apples go in the refrigerator after? I put mine in the refrigerator, tried slicing the apple, and all the chocolate broke off..

Banana World, candy doesn’t stick because the wax is still on the apples. Place apples in boiling water for about 15 seconds take out and dry with towel thoroughly and the candy should stay. Many videos on how to properly clean your apples. Good luck.
Thank you. i did boil em, but it was actually the shortening that i was missing to thin out the melts greatly appreciated....
Yummy Girly! Good job.. I’m gonna try this
I tried this yesterday but my chocolate applied over the apples a bit clumpy. How do you know when the chocolate has fully melted properly? Do you know exactly how many times it has to be heated up for 15 seconds? I was really hoping to get beautiful apples like yours😭
You don’t have to keep heating if you see bits still in there. I microwave in 15 sec intervals until it is the consistency I want. Stirring between each interval even if it doesn’t look like it’s melting. Sometimes you can stir until it’s all melted and if it’s too thick, add oil to thin it out but chocolate has to cool before applying to the apple but not enough to set. If it begin setting put it back in the microwave for 10-15 seconds and stir well. It’s a process and takes trial and error because apples can be tricky sometimes, even for me at times. Keep trying, you’ll get there. Try dipping and let excess drip off without shaking, then scrape the bottom and see if that helps. Sometimes I try different methods depending on the chocolate I use too!
Ok this is very nice... Would it work even if I don't take the wax off of the apples or do it matter since it's chocolate
I didn’t boil these to remove the wax. I do dip in hot water and wipe them clean. I have been trying the boiling method more lately.
@@QueensUniqueDesigns cool thanks the boil method takes forever you have to wait 24 hrs before you can do anything b.c. of the sap... I never did chocolate covered apples I'm going to try this t.f.s
Let me know how yours turn out
Where did you get the plastic apple containers?
Amazon
That looks delicious 😋
Thank You!
What brand of chocolate did you use? I can’t get my chocolate to stick
Zaria Zee I just used Wilton brand chocolate melts and I had no issues with the chocolate sticking to the apples. If you are experiencing the chocolate not sticking, try dipping the apples in hot water with a little apple cider vinegar to remove the wax coating and allow them to sit for 24 hours to dry out. Make sure you wipe them off really good before you dip them in the chocolate. Sometimes the wax on the apples won’t allow the chocolate to stick.
Morgan Johnson I realized that’s what the problem was a few hours after posting this lol. Thank you so much
