– 1 cup candy eyes (various sizes are fun)

Instructions
Creating Spooky Apple Monster Bites involves a few straightforward steps. Follow along to make your own delicious Halloween treats:
1. Prepare the Apples: Wash the apples thoroughly and dry them with a kitchen towel. You can choose to leave the stem intact for decoration or remove it.
2. Cut the Apples: Slice each apple into quarters or eighths, depending on your preference. Ensure each piece is thick enough to hold toppings without breaking.
3. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in increments of 30 seconds, stirring frequently until fully melted and smooth.
4. Coat the Apples: Dip each apple slice into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully covered. Allow excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
5. Place on a Baking Sheet: Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place the chocolate-covered apple slices on the sheet.
6. Add Toppings: While the chocolate is still warm, add candy eyes, mini marshmallows, and chopped nuts. Get creative! This is where you can have fun making spooky creatures.
7. Refrigerate: Place the baking tray in the refrigerator for about 15-30 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely set.
8. Serve: Once the chocolate is firm, arrange the Spooky Apple Monster Bites on a serving platter for display.
