Ingredients
- 2 cups Grapes
- 1/2 cup Caramel Sauce
- 1/2 cup diced Peanuts
How to Make Caramel Grape Bites
- Prepare the Grapes: Start by washing and thoroughly drying the grapes. It’s crucial they are dry so the caramel sticks properly.
- Dip in Caramel: Pour the caramel sauce into a small bowl. Using a toothpick or a skewer, dip each grape into the caramel sauce, ensuring it’s well-coated.
- Roll in Peanuts: Immediately after dipping in caramel, roll the grape in the diced peanuts. Place the coated grape on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill and Serve: Once all the grapes are coated, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to let the caramel set. Enjoy your Caramel Grape Bites chilled!
Helpful Tips
- Dry Grapes Thoroughly: Ensure the grapes are completely dry before dipping them in caramel. Any moisture will prevent the caramel from adhering properly.
- Work Quickly: The caramel can set quickly, so it’s best to dip and roll each grape one at a time.
- Use Fresh Caramel Sauce: For the best results, use fresh, high-quality caramel sauce. If it’s too thick, gently warm it to make dipping easier.
Substitutions/Variations
- Different Nuts: If peanuts aren’t your thing, try using chopped almonds, pecans, or walnuts.
- Chocolate Coating: For a decadent twist, dip the caramel-coated grapes in melted chocolate before rolling them in nuts.
- Sprinkles for Fun: Add a colorful touch by using sprinkles instead of, or in addition to, nuts.

To keep your Caramel Grape Bites fresh, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay delicious for up to 2 days, but I doubt they’ll last that long – they’re too tasty to resist!
