Instructions

Prepare the apples: Cut each apple into 4 slices, avoiding the core, making slices slightly less than 1/2 inch thick. Carefully insert a popsicle stick into the center of each apple slice to create the apple pops. Ensure the slices are not too thin for the sticks to hold firmly.
Melt the chocolate wafers: In separate microwavable bowls, melt the dark cocoa and orange melting wafers for 2 minutes each, stirring well. Continue to melt in 30-second increments with stirring between until fully melted and smooth.
Dip and decorate first half: Dip each side of an apple pop into the melted dark cocoa chocolate, then use a spoon to drizzle orange chocolate over it. Top with Halloween sprinkles.
Set the chocolate: Place the dipped apple pops on a sheet of parchment paper or a metal rack and allow chocolate to set.
Dip and decorate second half: Repeat the dipping process with the remaining apple pops, this time dipping them in orange chocolate, drizzling with dark cocoa chocolate, and topping with Halloween sprinkles.
Let chocolate set completely: Place all the apple pops on parchment or a wire rack and allow them to fully set before serving.

Notes

To prevent apples from browning, brush slices with lemon or lime juice before dipping.
If popsicle sticks are difficult to insert, use a dab of melted chocolate to attach sticks to apple slices; allow to set before dipping.
Dry apple surfaces with a paper towel before dipping to help chocolate adhere better.
If chocolate is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of Crisco or vegetable shortening to thin it.
Prepare all ingredients and toppings ahead to prevent apple slices from browning.
Store apple pops in the refrigerator and consume within 1 day for best freshness.
Get creative with decorations like mini chocolate chips, M&Ms, crushed Oreos, chopped nuts, mini marshmallows, or shredded coconut.
