Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 45–50 seedless green grapes
Caramel Coating
- 1 cup caramel bits
- 2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
Coating
- 1 cup chopped peanuts
Instructions
- Prepare the grapes: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Wash the grapes thoroughly and dry them completely using paper towels to ensure the caramel adheres properly.
- Prepare peanuts and grapes: Finely chop the peanuts and place them in a bowl. Insert a toothpick into each grape to facilitate easy dipping and handling. Set aside.
- Melt the caramel: Combine caramel bits and heavy whipping cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the caramel is fully melted and smooth.
- Dip grapes: Dip each grape individually into the melted caramel, allowing excess caramel to drip off, then roll it immediately in the chopped peanuts for a crunchy coating.
- Set grapes: Place the dipped grapes onto the prepared baking sheet to set.
- Chill and serve: Repeat the dipping process with all grapes, then refrigerate the tray until the caramel firms up. Serve chilled for the best taste experience.
Notes
- Ensure grapes are completely dry before dipping to help the caramel stick well.
- You can use any type of nuts for coating, such as chopped almonds or pecans, for variety.
- For easier handling, using toothpicks prevents sticky fingers during dipping.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator to keep them fresh and maintain the caramel coating’s texture.
