Ingredients
Units
Scale
For the Grapes
- 2 cups Seedless grapes (green or red) (Choose firm grapes for best results.)
For the Caramel Coating
- 1 cup Caramel bits or squares (Caramel bits melt easier.)
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream (A splash makes the caramel silkier.)
For the Topping
- 1 cup Chopped peanuts (Salted peanuts are recommended for extra flavor.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Wash and thoroughly dry the grapes. Ensure they are completely dry for the caramel to stick.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, add caramel bits and heavy cream. Microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth.
Dipping and Topping
- Stick a toothpick into each grape, dip into the warm caramel, letting the excess drip off.
- Roll or sprinkle with chopped peanuts while the caramel is still sticky.
- Place dipped grapes on the parchment paper to set.
Setting
- Allow the grapes to set at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes, or refrigerate if necessary.
Notes
Serve chilled but not icy cold. These can be prepared a few hours ahead and stored in an airtight container. For a fun variation, try using crushed pretzels or sprinkles as toppings.
