Caramel Apple Grapes Recipe

Introduction

Caramel Apple Grapes are a delightful bite-sized treat combining juicy grapes with creamy caramel and crunchy peanuts. They make a perfect snack or fun party appetizer that’s both sweet and satisfying.

Ingredients

• 45-50 seedless green grapes
• 1 cup caramel bits
• 2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
• 1 cup chopped peanuts

Instructions

1. Step 1: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Wash the grapes and dry them thoroughly with paper towels to ensure the caramel sticks well.
2. Step 2: Finely chop the peanuts and place them in a bowl. Insert a toothpick into each grape and set them aside.
3. Step 3: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the caramel bits and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the caramel is smooth and fully melted.
4. Step 4: Dip each grape into the melted caramel, allowing any excess to drip off, then immediately roll it in the chopped peanuts.
5. Step 5: Place the coated grapes on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with all remaining grapes.
6. Step 6: Refrigerate the grapes until the caramel is set and they’re ready to serve.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon into the caramel before dipping the grapes.
• Try using crushed almonds or pecans instead of peanuts for a different nutty crunch.
• If you prefer, use dark chocolate chips instead of caramel for a chocolate-covered grape variation.

Storage

Store the caramel apple grapes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To serve, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften the caramel slightly. Avoid storing at room temperature to prevent the caramel from melting.

FAQs

Can I use red grapes instead of green?

Yes, red grapes can be used and will offer a slightly different taste and color, but the recipe works equally well with either type.

Scale 1x2x3x

Ingredients

• 45–50 seedless green grapes
• 1 cup caramel bits
• 2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
• 1 cup chopped peanuts

Instructions

1. Prepare the grapes: Line your baking sheet with parchment paper. Wash the grapes thoroughly and dry them completely using paper towels. Ensuring the grapes are super dry helps the caramel stick better.
2. Prepare peanuts and grapes: Finely chop the peanuts and place them in a bowl. Insert a toothpick into each grape for easier dipping and handling. Set the grapes aside.
3. Melt the caramel: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the caramel bits and heavy whipping cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the caramel is fully melted and has a smooth consistency.
4. Dip grapes: One by one, dip each grape into the melted caramel, allowing any excess caramel to drip off before immediately rolling the grape in the chopped peanuts.
5. Set grapes: Place the caramel and peanut coated grapes onto the prepared baking sheet.
6. Chill and serve: Repeat the process with all the remaining grapes, then refrigerate them until ready to serve. The caramel will firm up, making these treats easy and delicious to enjoy.

Notes

• Make sure grapes are completely dry to prevent caramel from sliding off.
• If caramel becomes too thick when melting, add a bit more heavy cream to loosen it.
• Use fresh, firm grapes to achieve the best texture.
• To easily remove the grapes from the toothpicks, soften caramel slightly before serving or eat them directly from the toothpicks.
• These treats can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
