Lay out a piece of parchment paper.
Create!
Pour all of the green candy melts into one measuring cup and microwave for 45 second intervals. Stir vigorously after each interval to ensure that they are fully melted and as smooth as possible.
Tilt the measuring cup to the side and roll each apple in the chocolate. Tap the end of the bamboo stick to knock off any excess. Set each apple down gently on the parchment paper.
Sprinkle the top of each apple with Oreo crumbs before the candy hardens. This will be Frankenstein’s “hair.”
Let the candy set.
Add a dot of melted green chocolate on the backside of each candy eye and add two eyes to the front of each apple.
Place the dark chocolate in the second measuring cup and microwave at 45 second intervals until completely melted and smooth, stirring after each interval.
Pour the melted chocolate into a piping bag.
Cut a very small piece off the end of the piping bag.
Gently pipe a smile, eyebrows, nose, and stitches onto the front of each apple. Let the chocolate set.
Present!
Once the chocolate is set, these apples are ready to serve. Enjoy!
