• 100 g dark chocolate (or milk chocolate)
• 48 green grapes
• 8 large candy eyes

Kitchen Tools You’ll Need

This recipe doesn’t require fancy gadgets, just a few reliable kitchen basics to keep everything simple and stress-free.

• Parchment paper
• Small sharp knife
• Cutting board
• Paper towels or clean kitchen towel
• Microwave-safe bowl (or double boiler)
• Spoon or spatula
• Piping bag or zip-top bag (snip the corner)
• 4 lollipop sticks

Step-by-Step Beginner-Friendly Instructions

1. Prep your space: Line a tray or flat plate with parchment paper so the chocolate won’t stick.
2. Slice the apples: Cut apples in half (through the core). Pat the cut sides very dry with paper towel.
3. Dry the grapes: Slice grapes in half lengthwise and pat dry too—dry fruit helps chocolate stick better. 🍇
4. Add the sticks: On each apple half, use a small knife to make a small slit at the bottom edge. Insert a lollipop stick (push in firmly but carefully).
5. Melt the chocolate: Melt dark chocolate in 20–30 second bursts in the microwave, stirring each time, until smooth and glossy. 🍫
6. Pipe the outline: Spoon chocolate into a piping bag (or zip-top bag). Pipe a thick ring around the curved perimeter of each apple half.
7. Make the “petals”: Press halved grapes along the chocolate ring, cut-side facing down, to form flower petals.
8. Add candy eyes: Dot a tiny bit of chocolate where you want the eyes, then press candy eyes on. 😊
9. Set: Let the apples set at room temp until firm, or chill 10–15 minutes for faster setting.
10. Serve: Enjoy right away for the crunchiest apples.

Multitask tip: While chocolate melts, slice and dry all grapes so assembly is super fast.

Pro Tips

• Dry fruit = success: Moisture is the #1 reason chocolate slides off. Pat apples and grapes really well.
• Prevent browning: If prepping ahead, brush the cut apple with a little lemon juice, then dry again.
• Make it nut-free or allergy-friendly: Skip candy eyes if needed—use mini chocolate chips instead.
• Party upgrade: Sprinkle crushed freeze-dried strawberries or coconut on the chocolate before it sets.
