Fruits
- 50 seedless green grapes (wiped completely dry)
Caramel Sauce
- 1 cup chewy caramel candies (unwrapped)
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Toppings
- 1 cup salted peanuts (crushed finely)
Tools
- Prepare the grapes: Poke toothpicks into each of the seedless green grapes to make them easy to dip and eat. Set them aside on a clean surface.
- Melt the caramel sauce: In a small pot over medium-low heat, combine the unwrapped caramel candies with heavy cream. Stir continuously until the caramel is completely melted and smooth. Once melted, reduce the heat to the lowest setting to keep the sauce warm and fluid for dipping.
- Dip the grapes: Take each grape, hold it by the toothpick, and dip it thoroughly into the warm caramel sauce, coating it evenly. Immediately after dipping, roll or sprinkle the caramel-coated grape with the crushed salted peanuts so they stick to the caramel layer.
- Set the grapes: Place the coated grapes carefully on a plate or tray to allow the caramel to set slightly.
- Enjoy: Once set, these caramel apple grapes are ready to be enjoyed as a sweet and crunchy snack that blends fruity freshness with rich caramel and salty nuts.
Notes
- Make sure grapes are completely dry before dipping to ensure caramel sticks properly.
- Use chewy caramel candies for best melting consistency.
- If you prefer less salty, use unsalted peanuts or substitute with crushed almonds.
- Keep the caramel sauce warm to prevent it from hardening during the dipping process.
- Store leftover caramel grapes in the refrigerator for up to 2 days to maintain freshness.
