Ingredients
-
2 cups seedless grapes (green or red), washed and dried completely
-
1 cup soft caramels (about 20 pieces)
-
1 tablespoon milk or cream
-
½ cup finely crushed peanuts
Instructions
-
Make sure the grapes are completely dry so the caramel sticks well. You can put them on small skewers or toothpicks for easier dipping.
-
In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, combine the caramels and milk. Heat gently according to package, stirring often, until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
-
Working quickly, dip each grape halfway or fully into the warm caramel, allowing any excess to drip off.

Immediately roll the caramel-coated grapes in crushed peanuts, pressing lightly so the nuts stick.

Place the finished grapes on a parchment-lined tray and let them set for about 10 minutes until the caramel firms up.
