Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 45–50 seedless green grapes
  • 1 cup caramel bits
  • 2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup chopped peanuts

Instructions

  1. Prepare the grapes: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Wash the seedless green grapes thoroughly and dry them completely with paper towels. Ensuring the grapes are super dry is crucial for the caramel to stick properly.
  2. Chop the peanuts: Finely chop the peanuts and place them in a bowl. Insert a toothpick into each grape to make dipping easier and set them aside.
  3. Melt the caramel: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine caramel bits and heavy whipping cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each, until the caramel mixture is fully melted and smooth.
  4. Dip the grapes: Using the toothpick, dip each grape into the warm caramel, allowing the excess to drip off. Immediately roll the caramel-coated grape in the chopped peanuts to coat evenly.
  5. Set the grapes: Place each coated grape on the lined baking sheet. Repeat this process with all remaining grapes until all are coated.
  6. Chill to set: Refrigerate the caramel apple grapes until the caramel has firmed up and they are ready to serve.

Notes

  • Make sure grapes are completely dry before dipping to ensure caramel sticks well.
  • Use toothpicks for easy handling and dipping of grapes.
  • You can substitute chopped peanuts with other nuts or crushed pretzels for different texture and flavor.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator and consume within 2-3 days for optimal freshness.
  • Microwave times may vary depending on your microwave wattage, so check the caramel frequently while melting.
