Ingredients
  

For the Grapes
  • 1 bag green grapes Choose larger-sized grapes for a better bite.
  • 1 11 oz bag caramel bits
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream or water Use either for melting the caramel.
  • 1.5 cups chopped peanuts
  • 1 package toothpicks For holding the grapes.

Method
 

Making the Caramel
  1. In a small saucepan, heat the caramel bits and 2 tablespoons of heavy cream or water over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally to avoid any caramel mishaps. It’ll take about 5 minutes for it to melt and become smooth. Remove from heat.
Dipping the Grapes
  1. Take a grape, spear it with a toothpick, and dip it about 3/4 of the way into the caramel. Let the excess drip off.
  2. Dredge the caramel-dipped grape into the chopped peanuts and place it on a foil-lined baking sheet. Repeat until you’ve coated all your grapes.
Chilling and Serving
  1. Stick them in the fridge, but let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving so the caramel softens.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Use fresh grapes for the best flavor and texture.
