CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER COATED APPLES for Halloween!

12 wooden ice cream sticks
12 medium apples, stems removed
1 package (10 ounces) peanut butter chips 1/2 cup vegetable oil
2/3 cup confectioners' sugar
2/3 cup cocoa
Chopped peanut butter chips, chocolate chips, vanilla chips or flaked
coconut, optional
1. Insert wooden stick into each washed and dried apple. Cover a baking
sheet or tray with waxed paper.
2. In a medium microwave-safe bowl, stir together peanut butter chips
and oil. Microwave on high 1-1/2 minutes or until
chips are softened. Stir until melted.
3. Stir together confectioners' sugar and cocoa; gradually add to melted
chip mixture, stirring until smooth. Microwave on
high 1 minute or until very warm.
4. Dip apples three-quarters way into mixture, twirling to remove excess
coating. (If coating becomes too thick, return to
microwave for a few seconds). Roll coated apple in chopped chips or
coconut if desired. Allow to cool on prepared baking
sheet or tray.
