Decadent Chocolate Apples are as fun to make as they are to eat. After coating the apples in a thick coating of chocolate, you can add a chopped nuts, or any other favorite toppings. When serving, eat them whole on a stick, or make things easier by slicing them into wedges to make chocolate apple slices to share. You can serve them along with other fall favorites like Apple Cider or Hot Toddy for an adult drink recipe.
