Before you begin dipping the apples, you'll need to remove any wax from the apple skin
To do this, boil a pot of water. The water does not have to be a rolling boil, but it will need to be hot enough to melt wax.
Place the apples into the hot water and spin them around. Quickly remove them and dry them with a paper towel to remove any waxy residue.
Place the chocolate into a small bowl that is deep enough to cover the apple.
Melt the chocolate until it is smooth and creamy. Stir it to make sure all of the chocolate is melted and smooth. There are notes below on how I melt chocolate.
Set out a piece of wax paper onto your work surface
Remove the apple stem
Push the popsicle stick or wooden skewer into the apples
Dip the apples into the chocolate and roll it around to almost fully cover the apple. It's ok if the top of the apple is not covered in chocolate
Lift the apple to allow excess chocolate to drip off of the apple
Place the apple onto a sheet of wax paper to dry
Once the chocolate is dry you can decorate the face
Lay the apples down to decorate. This way the icing won't drip down the face
Use the chocolate icing to make the eyes and mouth of your snowman
I made two different mouths to make a variety of facial expressions
One smile is a smooth curved line. The other smile is dots curved into a smile
Add a carrot nose with the orange frosting Finally, tie a bow onto the popsicle stick and slide it down just above the apple
