Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 1 lb. seedless green grapes
Caramel Coating
- 1 (11-oz.) bag caramels
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
Toppings
- 1/2 cup finely chopped raw or roasted peanuts (or other toppings)
Instructions
- Prepare the Grapes: Wash grapes thoroughly under running water and pat them dry carefully with paper towels to ensure no moisture remains, as this helps the caramel adhere better.
- Melt the Caramel: In a small pot over medium heat, combine the caramels and heavy cream. Stir continuously for about 5 minutes until the mixture is completely melted and smooth without any lumps.
- Dip the Grapes: Using toothpicks, pick up each grape and dip it halfway into the warm caramel. Immediately roll the caramel-coated part in the chopped peanuts or your chosen toppings to add texture and flavor.
- Set the Grapes: Place the dipped grapes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and to allow the caramel to cool evenly.
- Chill and Serve: Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator and chill the caramel apple grapes until the caramel is firm and set, about 15-30 minutes. Serve chilled for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Make sure grapes are completely dry before dipping to ensure caramel adheres properly.
- Use toothpicks for easy dipping and to avoid getting caramel on your fingers.
- You can substitute peanuts with other nuts, sprinkles, or crushed candies for varied textures.
- Store leftover caramel apple grapes in the refrigerator for up to 2 days for optimal freshness.
