Owl Chocolate Apples
An Original Recipe by Lorraine Elliott
Preparation time: 35 minutes
Cooking time: 5 minutes
- 12 apples
- 400g/14ozs. chocolate
- 2-3 sleeves Oreo cookies (extra in case the cookies don't come apart perfectly)
- 24 brown m&ms
- 6 orange m&m's
- 1 sheet rice paper
- 2 tablespoons royal icing to stick cookies, nose and wings
Step 1 - Have a large tray lined with parchment ready. Melt the chocolate in a microwave or a double boiler. Stick a chopstick or a wooden stick in the top of each apple and dip the apples in the chocolate allowing excess to drip off and place on the parchment.
Step 2 - While they are setting prep the eyes, nose and wings. Take the Oreos and gently pry them apart. Place one brown m&m on each eye until you have 12 pairs of eyes. Cut each remaining cookie without the icing in half to make eyebrows. Then cut the orange m&m's in half. Cut out the rice paper into small leaf shapes like wings making 12 pairs.
Step 3 - Using the royal icing affix the eyes, nose and wings. Allow 30 minutes to set. Then add the eyebrows using the royal icing.
