Description
Caramel Apple Grapes are bite-sized treats that combine the crisp juiciness of grapes, the gooey richness of caramel, and a crunchy coating of nuts or toppings. Perfect for fall gatherings, Halloween, or as a fun snack, these treats are easy to make and endlessly customizable.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound green grapes (firm and tart, such as Granny Smith)
- 1 cup caramel sauce (thick and high-quality)
- 1 cup crushed peanuts, pecans, or walnuts (or alternative toppings like crushed pretzels, graham crackers, or sprinkles)
- Toothpicks for dipping and serving
Instructions
- Wash the grapes thoroughly and dry them completely with a paper towel. Insert a toothpick into each grape.
- If your caramel sauce is too thick, gently warm it in the microwave or on the stovetop until it’s smooth and dippable.
- Place your chosen toppings in small bowls, ensuring they’re crushed finely for even coating.
- Holding the toothpick, dip each grape into the caramel sauce, swirling to coat evenly. Allow any excess caramel to drip off.
- Immediately roll the caramel-covered grape in your chosen topping, pressing lightly to ensure it sticks.
- Place the finished grapes on wax paper and let them sit at room temperature until the caramel firms up, about 30 minutes.
Notes
Work quickly when dipping the grapes, as caramel can harden fast. Ensure the grapes are completely dry to prevent the caramel from sliding off. Experiment with different toppings for variety.
