Caramel Apple Mummy Pops:

These caramel apple mummy pops are perfect for spooky season. And are made with the best homemade date caramel that will leave you hooked.

What you’ll need:

1. Apple slices
2. Popsicle sticks
3. White chocolate chips or white candy melts
4. Homemade vegan date caramel
5. Refined coconut oil
6. Candy Eyes

How to prepare the apple slices:

One of the frequently asked questions I get whenever I make these caramel apple pops is, “how do you prevent the apple slices from turning brown?” And I have to say it is by soaking them in water with some salt. And no they don’t taste like salt afterwards. Slice your apples into 1 inch thick slices. And soak in 2 cups room temperature water and 1 tsp salt for 10 minutes. And then drain, rinse very well, and pat dry. But make sure they are really dried or else your date caramel will have a hard time sticking to the apples.

Make the homemade date caramel:

I have been making this vegan date caramel for many years now. Because it is seriously the best! And I love that it does not get stuck in your teeth like traditional caramel does. Just add all the ingredients to a food processor and process until you get a smooth and creamy consistency.

Making the mummy pops:

And once you have the caramel prepped. Melt your white chocolate chips with some coconut oil. But be sure to not overheat your chocolate. Because that is what causes your chocolate to harden quickly. Stick a popsicle stick into the apple slice, dip in date caramel, and then into the melted white chocolate. And place on a dish lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate until the chocolate has hardened. And add some melted chocolate to the back of the candy eyes and place onto the apple pops. And drizzle the top with extra melted white chocolate. Refrigerate until the chocolate is set.

How do I keep stored?

You can keep stored in the refrigerator or even freezer in an airtight container. But best to be eaten within 1-2 days if storing in the refrigerator.
