  Yes sorry they won’t turn brown by using pineapple juice. Yes you can definitely make ahead of time. 🙂

  Oh, I LOVE the pineapple juice instead of lemon or lime juice! My son hates how the lemon/lime makes them sour! I’m going to have to do this for my friend’s superbowl party!!!

   Another variation would be to use orange juice instead of pineapple juice…it gives it a slight orange flavor–which is delicious, especially with chocolate!–and helps keep the apples from turning brown as well. 🙂

  Thanks so much! We have several football fans who are not pineapple fans at our house.

    I’ve found from experience that chocolate chips don’t melt very good for applications like this where you want to coat something. That’s because choc. chips are meant to stay in chip form when they are cooked! I’m not fond of the taste of melts, so I use chips anyway. You might want to add a little coconut oil to the chips. A little goes a long way and the properties of coconut oil being a solid at room temperature and melting at body temperature is just perfect for chocolate. While I usually manage to use chocolate chips without the oil, white chocolate chips absolutely require it. They do not melt at all without it. I’ve wasted at lot of chocolate learning this!

    I love the look of the chocolate footballs! This should be a fun project! Thanks for your efforts, Lina!

  I use a tiny dab of crisco with nestle milk chocolate chips. Have to be careful not to overheat or it won’t work but to me the milk chocolate tastes so much better as a coating especially on strawberries.

    My son, 10 years old was trying out some football ideas this past weekend. He made little smokies into footballs and football players. I can’t post a pic here but they were so cute.

    Making these with Velata chocolate is a breeze! The chocolate is made for melting, and all you need to do is put it in the microwave! http://www.chelseylawson.velata.us

    I can never get the melts to stick to anything. It’s thick even when I add oil. Then my item always slips off the holder into the chocolate. I can not get any of this right. Last week I tried to cover cake pops..what a disaster…too thick, gloopy, oil didn’t help and everything slid. For the things that stayed on, the chocolate dripped in globs and didn’t look smooth….ugh.

  and those melts, once they harden they are tough as bricks…I threw out all the pops because I thought I would break a tooth. I prefer choc chips so much more, at least I won’t break a tooth.

  Oh no 🙁 that sounds like my experience with the chocolate chips! One thing I did have to make sure apples were onlinepletely dry and using a toothpick helped 🙂

    Does it matter if the apples turn brown if you’re covering them with chocolate? 😉

  I’m wondering this as well, since I have everything I’d need aside from the juice and want to try making them!

  No just your own personal preference 🙂
