Ingredients
Ingredients
- 45-50 seedless green grapes
- 1 cup caramel bits
- 2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup chopped peanuts
Instructions
- Prepare the baking sheet and grapes: Line your baking sheet with parchment paper. Wash the seedless green grapes well and thoroughly dry them using paper towels, ensuring they are completely dry for the caramel to adhere properly.
- Chop peanuts and prep grapes: Finely chop the peanuts and place them in a bowl. Insert a toothpick into each grape, which will make dipping easier.
- Melt the caramel mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the caramel bits with the heavy whipping cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until the caramel is smooth and fully melted.
- Dip grapes into caramel and nuts: One grape at a time, dip it into the melted caramel, letting excess drip off, then immediately roll the caramel-coated grape in the chopped peanuts to coat.
- Place grapes to set: Arrange the coated grapes on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat the dipping and rolling process with all grapes.
- Chill before serving: Refrigerate the grapes until the caramel is fully set and ready to serve, approximately 10-15 minutes.
Notes
- Make sure grapes are completely dry to ensure caramel sticks properly.
- You can substitute peanuts with other nuts or seeds if preferred.
- Use toothpicks carefully and remove before eating to avoid choking hazards for children.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator to keep caramel firm.
- For a variation, try mixing in a pinch of sea salt into the caramel before dipping for a sweet and salty flavor.
