Tips & Variations

• Make sure the grapes are completely dry before dipping so the caramel sticks better.
• Try swapping salted peanuts for crushed almonds or pecans for a different crunch.
• For extra fun, drizzle melted chocolate over the caramel-coated grapes before setting.

Storage

Store any leftover caramel apple grapes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Bring them to room temperature before serving for the best flavor and texture. Avoid freezing, as the caramel may become too hard.

FAQs

Can I use red grapes instead of green?

Yes, both red and green seedless grapes work well for this recipe. Choose firm grapes for the best texture.

What if I don’t have heavy cream?

You can substitute with whole milk, but the caramel may be slightly less rich and thick. Heavy cream helps create a smooth, creamy caramel sauce.

Caramel Coating

• 1 cup chewy caramel candies (unwrapped)
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Toppings

• 1 cup salted peanuts (crushed finely)

Instructions

1. Prepare the grapes: Poke toothpicks into each grape carefully, allowing an easy grip for dipping and eating. Set them aside on a clean surface.
2. Melt the caramel: In a small pot over medium-low heat, combine the caramel candies and heavy cream. Stir continuously until the caramel is fully melted and smooth. Then reduce the heat to the lowest setting just enough to keep the caramel warm and fluid for dipping.
3. Dip and coat the grapes: Dip each grape, held by the toothpick, into the warm caramel sauce making sure it is fully covered. Immediately roll or dip the caramel-coated grape into the finely crushed salted peanuts to coat evenly. Place on a plate to allow the caramel to set and harden slightly.
4. Serve and enjoy: Repeat the dipping and coating process for all grapes. Once done, enjoy these delightful caramel apple grapes as a fun and sweet snack or dessert.

Notes

• Make sure grapes are completely dry before dipping to help the caramel stick properly.
• If caramel hardens, gently rewarm it over low heat to maintain a dip-friendly consistency.
• For a nut-free version, substitute crushed peanuts with crushed cookies or sprinkles.
• Use toothpicks carefully to avoid injury and facilitate easy eating.
• These treats are best enjoyed the same day to keep grapes fresh and caramel from becoming too sticky.
