10 to 12 medium apples, stems removed

1-2/3 cup (10 ounce) Reese's Peanut Butter Chips

2/3 cup Hershey's Cocoa

2/3 cup confectioners' sugar

1/2 cup vegetable oil

Reese's Peanut Butter Chips

or Hershey's Premier White Chips, chopped (optional)

Insert wooden stick into each washed

and thoroughly dried apple. Cover tray

with wax paper.

In top of double boiler over hot

but not boiling water, combine peanut

butter chips, cocoa, powdered sugar

and oil. Stir constantly until chips

are melted and mixture is smooth.

Remove from heat. Dip apples in mixture;

twirl to remove excess coating. (If coating

becomes too thick, return to low heat or

add additional oil, 1 teaspoon at a time.)

Roll lower half of coated apple in peanuts

or coconut if desired. Allow to cool on

prepared tray. Refrigerate if desired.

Microwave Directions

In medium microwave-safe bowl,

stir together peanut butter chips

and oil. Microwave on HIGH (100%)

for 1-1/2 minutes or until chips are softened.

Stir until melted. If necessary, microwave on

HIGH an additional 15 seconds at a time,

stirring after each heating, just until

chips are melted when stirred. Stir together

powdered sugar and cocoa; gradually add to

melted chip mixture, stirring until smooth.

Microwave on HIGH 1 minute or until very warm.

Continue as directed above.
