Dip a caramel apple in chocolate then turn it into a pot of gold with a modeling chocolate rim filled with gold coins.
Melt and temper your pure dark chocolate or melt your dark cocoa candy melts.
Dip your caramel apples in the melted chocolate and lift the caramel apple out of the chocolate allowing the excess chocolate to drip off.
Set the apples on a parchment paper-lined baking tray.
Chill the chocolate-dipped caramel apples in the refrigerator if you used pure dark chocolate or in the freezer if you use candy melts for about 10 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
Remove the apples and let them come to room temperature.
Roll some dark modeling chocolate into a log and wrap it around the top of the caramel apple so it looks like the rim of a cauldron.
Cut off any excess modeling chocolate and pinch the edges together.
Use a bit of melted chocolate to attach the modeling chocolate rim to the chocolate-dipped caramel apple.
Repeat.
Roll out the white modeling chocolate to 1/16-inch thickness.
Cut lots of small ¼-inch circles using a small round cutter or small round plunger cutter.
Spray the circles with gold color mist or brush them with a mix of gold luster dust and lemon extract.
Let the coins dry completely before placing them inside the rim on each of the caramel apples.
You will have chocolate left over after you dip all of your apples but you need enough in your bowl in order to get the last two apples completely covered in chocolate.
The amount of modeling chocolate and chocolate will vary depending on the size of your caramel apples. If you use really large apples, you may need more melted chocolate.
Save the remaining chocolate for another use.
