Important tips & variations to make chocolate covered grapes:
-
Make sure to rinse and dry grapes well completely before dipping them in the chocolate. This would ensure that the chocolate would coat to the grapes well.
-
I use green grapes for this recipe, but you can use any grapes of your choice.
-
Try using plump, seedless, firm, sweet, and juicy grapes. They taste best here.
-
About chocolate, you can use any eating chocolate, even the ones with the nuts and dried fruits. Simply melt it and then coat your grapes with the melted chocolate.
-
To make grape kebabs, you can also skewer 4-5 grapes in a large wooden skewer, and then dip them into the chocolate. They are a hit at parties.
-
Other than chocolate, you can also choose salted caramel, toffee sauce for dipping grapes.
-
For melting chocolate, you can either melt it in the microwave or use a double boiler method.
-
I used salted crushed peanuts, toasted coconut, chocolate nibs, and sugar pearls for toppings. But you can use any of your favorite toppings.
-
You can add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil or butter to each chocolate while melting. This would give you a firm coating.
-
For an interesting presentation, you can also dip the small bunch of grapes entirely in chocolate.
