There’s something about the holiday season that just begs for fun, festive treats, doesn’t it? The twinkling lights, the cozy gatherings, and of course, all the delicious food. One of my favorite holiday treats to make with the kids (and let’s be honest, for myself) are these Christmas Light Apple Slices. They’re the perfect blend of tart, sweet, and oh-so-cute!

How to Make Christmas Light Apple Slices

Ingredients you’ll need for this recipe

4 Granny Smith apples
14 popsicle sticks
10 oz white melting wafers
1.08 oz mini M&Ms
½ cup dark chocolate chips (or semi-sweet chocolate chips)

Step by Step Guide

1. Start by slicing your apples into ¼-inch thick pieces. You’ll want to remove any seeds as you go and insert a popsicle stick into each slice for easy handling (and fun presentation!). Lay your apple slices on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper, so they’re ready for their chocolate coating.

2. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat your white chocolate wafers in 30-second intervals, stirring between each round until smooth and fully melted. Now comes the fun part!

3. Grab an apple slice and dip it into the melted white chocolate, making sure both sides are covered. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing the slice back on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat this step with all the apple slices and allow the chocolate to harden for about 15 minutes.

4. Once the white chocolate is set, it’s time to add those cute “Christmas lights.” Melt your dark (or semi-sweet) chocolate chips, transfer the melted chocolate to a piping bag, and cut a small tip. Drizzle the dark chocolate in a zigzag pattern over the apple slices.

5. Before the dark chocolate hardens, gently press the mini M&Ms into the chocolate drizzle. Go classic with red and green M&Ms or get creative with a mix of colors for a multicolored light effect!

6. After you’ve added your “lights,” give the chocolate some time to harden completely. Then, voila! Your Christmas Light Apple Slices are ready to be enjoyed.

And there you have it! These festive treats are not just a visual delight, they’re a perfect balance of tart and sweet! The crunch of the apple paired with the smooth, sweet white chocolate makes for a bite that’s light, refreshing, and irresistible.

Happy Holidays and enjoy your festive treat!
