These Chocolate Covered Apple Easter Chicks would be such a fun display and dessert on Easter Sunday! They would also be great for a barn party, Spring, or Summer get together. The chocolate chickens are dipped in coconut that is colored brown to resemble hay or a nest. Here’s what I did to make these little chickens:

You’ll Need: for 8 medium sized chicks, or 4 large apple chicks

• small  to medium apples – like macintosh, gala
• Yellow Straws – I found mine at Michael’s Craft Store in the Easter Section 
• *Another option in place of straws is lollipop sticks or wooden sticks
• Yellow Chocolate Melts – Such as Wilton 12 oz. bag
• Candy Eyes
• Orange Jelly Beans – 2
• Coconut Shavings
• Copper Gel Food Coloring – Wilton makes this – Light brown would also work

Equipment:

• Scissors
• Wooden Dowel to dip the apples with
• Wax Paper
• Medium Glass Bowl

Instructions:

• First off…color your coconut with a little bit of the copper food coloring – a little goes  a long way – mix it together with a fork
• Set your candy eyes out

• Cut the jelly beans in half lengthwise and then cut the long pieces in half going across to make 4 beaks per jelly bean 
• Melt the chocolate in a glass bowl using the microwave method on the back of the bag

• Set wax paper out for the apples to dry on
• Insert a dowel into the apple you are ready to dip

1. Tilting your bowl to get make a deep section of chocolate, roll each apple in the chocolate, coating it with yellow chocolate
2. Dip the apple immediately into the coconut, coating the bottom
3. Set the apples onto the wax paper
4. Let the chocolate cool off on each one as you reapeat the steps above for each remaining apples

1. Use a toothpick or another utensil to dip into the leftover melted chocolate. You will use this melted chocolate to glue the eyes and jelly bean beaks onto your yellow apples
2. If you want to use the yellow straws, take the dowels out and replace with straws
