Equipment

  • Toothpicks or lollipop sticks
  • Parchment Paper
  • Baking Sheet
  • Microwave-safe Bowls

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 2 pounds green grapes approximately 4 cups, firm and seedless
  • 11 oz caramel bits or wrapped caramels unwrapped if using wrapped caramels
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 8 oz white chocolate chips or melting wafers
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Optional Toppings

  • 1/4 cup crushed peanuts optional
  • 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs optional

Instructions
 

  • Wash the grapes thoroughly and pat them completely dry with paper towels. Any moisture will prevent the caramel from adhering properly. For best results, chill the dried grapes in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before dipping.
  • Insert a toothpick or lollipop stick into the stem end of each grape.
  • Place caramel bits and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth (approximately 2 minutes total).
  • Hold each grape by its toothpick and dip it into the melted caramel, swirling to coat evenly. Allow excess caramel to drip off for 5-10 seconds.
  • Place the caramel-coated grapes on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes until the caramel sets.
  • Combine white chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely smooth (typically 1-1.5 minutes total).
  • Dip each caramel-coated grape into the melted white chocolate, covering about three-quarters of the caramel layer.
  • While the white chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with your choice of crushed peanuts, graham cracker crumbs, or other toppings.
  • Return the dipped grapes to the parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for an additional 15 minutes to fully set the white chocolate.

Notes

Substitution Options:
  • Red grapes can replace green for a slightly sweeter profile
  • Vegan caramel sauce works for dairy-free alternatives
  • Almond bark can substitute for white chocolate
  • Coconut cream can replace heavy cream for a tropical twist
  • Crushed pretzels, toffee bits, or sprinkles make great topping alternatives
Storing Tips:
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days
  • Place parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking
  • For best texture, remove from refrigerator 5-10 minutes before serving
  • Do not freeze—the grape texture will deteriorate significantly
