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 the seedless green grapes thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels to remove all moisture, ensuring the caramel adheres well.
- Melt the Caramel: In a small pot over medium heat, combine the caramels and heavy cream. Stir continuously until the mixture becomes smooth and melted, about 5 minutes.
- Dip the Grapes: Using toothpicks, dip each grape halfway into the warm caramel, then immediately roll it in finely chopped peanuts or your preferred topping for added texture and flavor.
- Set the Grapes: Place the caramel-coated grape on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow to cool.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the dipped grapes until the caramel hardens and they are ready to serve, keeping them fresh and delicious.
Notes
- Make sure grapes are completely dry before dipping to help the caramel stick properly.
- You can substitute chopped peanuts with other toppings like shredded coconut, crushed pretzels, or sprinkles for variety.
- Serve these treats chilled for the best texture and taste.
- Use toothpicks for easy dipping and serving.
