Ghost

These caramel apple ghosts are so cute…and easy, it’s almost frightening. After layering your apples with luscious caramel, dunk them in white chocolate. We recommend piping dark chocolate to make the for the eyes and mouth—by the way, we love their pumpkin apple too!

Mummy

Bring you mummy caramel apples to life by turning white-chocolate-covered apples on their side and spining while adding thin, layered stripes in white chocolate. Before the chocolate dries, embellish with candy eyeballs or, as before, use dark chocolate.
