Start by washing your apples well.

Pound the bamboo sticks into the ends of your apple using a hammer or meat tenderizer.

In your 4-cup measuring cup, pour in your candy melts and microwave for 30-second intervals. Stir vigorously after each interval, even if they don't look melted yet. (Make sure it is melted and as smooth as possible.)

Tilt your measuring cup to the side and roll your apple in the chocolate. Gently tap the bamboo stick to knock off any excess chocolate.

Spray your red edible color spray into a small bowl.

Dip your basting brush into the red spray and fling it onto your apple. This can get messy, so lay some paper towels down.

Let the apple sit for a moment and dry.

Lastly, add drips to the top of your apple using the red gel icing. I achieved this by making a circle around the top with my gel and then creating lines down from the circle with big drops on the end.

Serve and enjoy this spooky treat! Happy Halloween!
