Easy, delicious, and super cute Chocolate Apple Halloween Owl made from 5 ingredients only -- a favorite of both children and adults.
Halloween arrived! I made a special treat: this Chocolate Apple Halloween Owl!!! Isn't that just the cutest little treat? My children are as happy as can be. I hope that yours will be also!
Our Chocolate Apple Halloween Owl is much funnier and quicker to make than cupcakes. I am telling you, kids go crazy for it. Well, who wouldn't? I am an adult, and am cuckoo-crazy for this delish and easy Halloween Owl.
This Apple Owl is also a great Halloween cooking project to get children involved in. Mostly all that you need is sliced apples, melted chocolate, oreos, and candies to decorate. Nothing could be easier to prepare than our cute Owl.
At any rate, if you still wish to add cupcakes to your party, I have a great one for you: Our SPOOKY Brigadeiro Cupcakes -- three different ways.
Have a wonderful month, and a fun Halloween!
HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE APPLE HALLOWEEN OWL
Sit apples upright on a wood board and slice from top to bottom (about 4 slices per apple, ½-inch thick). Remove seeds gently.
Then, line a large cookie sheet with aluminum foil and push the pointed end of each stick up into the bottom of each apple slice.
In a medium glass bowl, melt chocolate chips in the microwave. Follow the package directions! Then place bowl with melted chocolate into a larger bowl filled with about 2-inch boiling water (this will help chocolate to not harden).
Dip apple slices in chocolate using a spoon to help cover each slice if your bowl isn't deep enough to cover them.
Allow excess chocolate to drip off, then lay flat on the foil-lined baking sheet.
Use the oreos to decorate both the eyes and ears of the apple owl and the candy corn for the nose while chocolate is still wet. Use a small dot of melted chocolate as a glue for the candy eyeballs.
Place the baking sheet in the fridge for approximately 10-15 minutes, allowing chocolate to harden. If you wish, tie wood stick with a ribbon. Serve these chocolate treats and enjoy!

Brilliant, Denise! I've seen similar owls on Pinterest and have been wanting to make them. And voilà! I have the best instructions from a very trusted source =) I love, love, love your idea, too, of contrasting a tart GrannySmith (instead of cupcake) with the candy corn and chocolate and cookies =) Obligada!

We're welcome, The Ninja Baker! I saw a similar owl design on cupcakes. They inspired me to make with apples. I hope you make this treat and enjoy.
