Strawberry Shortcake Candy Apples – Yay or Nay? 🍓🍏
Ingredients:
4 medium apples, washed and thoroughly dried
1 cup white chocolate or candy melts
½ cup crushed shortbread cookies
¼ cup crushed freeze-dried strawberries
2 tablespoons strawberry jam or glaze
Wooden sticks
Optional Toppings:
Sprinkles
Drizzled pink chocolate
A small dollop of whipped cream for serving
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Apples:
Insert wooden sticks firmly into the tops of each apple. Make sure the apples are completely dry — this helps the chocolate stick properly.
2. Melt the Chocolate:
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate or candy melts in 20–30 second intervals, stirring between each until smooth and glossy.
3. Coat the Apples:
Dip or brush each apple evenly with the melted chocolate. While the coating is still soft, sprinkle with crushed shortbread cookies and freeze-dried strawberries to create that sweet “shortcake” texture.
4. Add the Strawberry Glaze:
Drizzle the strawberry jam or glaze over the coated apples for an extra burst of fruity flavor.
5. Optional Decorations:
For a fun finishing touch, add colorful sprinkles, a drizzle of pink chocolate, or a small swirl of whipped cream once the chocolate has begun to set.
6. Set and Serve:
Place the apples on parchment paper and refrigerate for 10–15 minutes, just until the chocolate hardens.
Serve chilled or at room temperature — perfect for parties, picnics, or a playful dessert twist!

Would you like me to make it sound more playful and social media–style (great for Instagram captions) or more formal and recipe-book style?
