I make these caramel grape bites whenever I need a quick, crowd-pleasing treat. They’re juicy grapes coated in caramel and rolled in nuts or cookie crumbs – simple but so delicious! Perfect for parties, get-togethers, or even as a fun snack for the kids.
Fun Variations:
You can get creative with the coatings! I love using crushed cookies like graham crackers or Oreos for a dessert vibe. You could also try shredded coconut, mini chocolate chips, or even crushed pretzels for a salty-sweet combo. There are so many ways to make these grape bites your own!
What You Need to Make It:
- 24 seedless grapes (green or red), washed and dried
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce (homemade or store-bought)
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (like peanuts, pecans, or almonds) or crushed cookies for coating
- Toothpicks or small skewers for easy dipping
How to Make It:
- I start by placing the chopped nuts or crushed cookies in a shallow dish to make it easy for dipping.
- I dip each grape into the caramel sauce, making sure it’s fully covered.
- Then, I roll the caramel-coated grape in the nuts or crumbs until it’s coated all around.
- I stick a toothpick or skewer into each grape and place them on a tray.
- To let the caramel set, I chill the grape bites in the fridge for about 10 minutes before serving.

Serving and Storage Tips:
- These caramel grape bites are best served right away so they stay fresh and crunchy. Serve them chilled on a platter, and they’ll be a hit at any party!
- If you have any leftovers, keep them in the fridge for up to a day. Just cover them lightly so they don’t stick together.
Tips:
- For the best results, make sure the grapes are dry before dipping in caramel.
- If you want to add a bit of chocolate, drizzle a little melted chocolate over the coated grapes after they’re chilled – it’s an extra treat!
- For variety, try using different kinds of grapes, like mixing green and red for a colorful look.
