Ingredients
Scale
Grapes
- 50 seedless green grapes (wiped completely dry)
Caramel Sauce
- 1 cup chewy caramel candies (unwrapped)
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Coating
- 1 cup salted peanuts (crushed finely)
Other
- Toothpicks (for dipping and handling grapes)
Instructions
- Prepare the grapes. Poke a toothpick into each seedless green grape carefully, then set them aside. This will make dipping easier and less messy.
- Melt the caramel sauce. In a small pot over medium-low heat, combine the unwrapped chewy caramel candies with 2 tablespoons of heavy cream. Stir continuously until the caramel is completely melted and smooth. Then reduce the heat to the lowest setting just to keep the sauce warm and fluid.
- Dip grapes in caramel and nuts. Take each grape on the toothpick and dip it thoroughly into the warm caramel sauce, coating it evenly. Immediately roll or dip the caramel-covered grape into the finely crushed salted peanuts to create a crunchy nut coating. Place the coated grapes on a plate to let the coating set.
- Serve and enjoy. Once all grapes are dipped and coated, serve immediately or keep them at room temperature until ready to eat. Pop these sweet and nutty caramel apple grapes in your mouth and enjoy the burst of flavors and textures!
Notes
- Ensure the grapes are completely dry before dipping to help the caramel stick better.
- Use chewy caramel candies like Kraft caramels for best melting results.
- Crush the peanuts finely but not into powder to keep a pleasant crunchy texture.
- For added flavor, you can substitute salted peanuts with crushed pecans or almonds.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature; refrigeration may harden the caramel coating.
