These chocolate covered grapes are a great addition to any dessert table. They’re easy to make and can be prepared in advance, which makes them perfect for entertaining. Give them a try if you’re looking for chocolate fruit recipes, like these chocolate covered dates, which are another delicious option.
Key Ingredients
You can use any type of grapes you like in this recipe. There are so many different varieties available at many grocery stores these days, so choose whatever looks fresh and make sure they’re not mushy or overripe.
I prefer to use dark chocolate when making these grapes, but you can substitute any type of chocolate you prefer.
I like to top these chocolate grapes with a sprinkle of finely chopped pecans. Walnuts or pistachios would be a delicious topping too. Or you can omit the topping if you prefer.
How to Make Chocolate Covered Grapes
Start by washing, drying, and removing the grapes from the stems.
Add the chopped dark chocolate to a pot on the stove set to low heat. Cook, stirring often, until the chocolate has melted, then immediately remove the pot from the heat. Transfer the melted chocolate to small bowl.
Add one grape to the bowl of melted chocolate, then gently stir to coat completely. Use a fork to lift the chocolate coated grape out of the bowl, then place it on a large plate or sheet pan lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Add a sprinkle of finely chopped nuts, if desired.
Repeat this process with the rest of the grapes.
Place the plate or sheet pan of chocolate grapes in the fridge to harden for at least one hour before serving.
