Ingredients
  

For the grapes

  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the caramel candies in short intervals. Stir between each interval until the caramel is smooth and thick.

  2. Roll each caramel-dipped grape in the crushed peanuts until fully coated.
  3. Place the finished grapes on a parchment-lined tray or plate and chill for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the caramel firms up slightly.

Notes

For a nut-free version, swap the peanuts for crushed pretzels or finely chopped graham crackers. You can also add a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor.
