Embarrassingly Easy Chocolate Covered Grape Skewers
Description
This recipe involves washing and thoroughly drying seedless black grapes before threading several onto bamboo skewers. Dark and white chocolates are melted separately with coconut oil added to each to create firmer coatings. The grape skewers are dipped into the dark chocolate first, allowing excess to drip off before placing them on parchment to set. After the dark chocolate hardens, a drizzle of white chocolate is applied on top. Optional finishing touches include sprinkles or a light sprinkle of sea salt to balance the sweet and bitter notes. The coated grapes remain firm at room temperature but are recommended to be served chilled for better taste and texture. This preparation turns simple grapes into an elegant dessert or appetizer featuring a pleasing contrast between juicy fruit and crisp chocolate.
Ingredients
- 1 1/5 cups grape black, seedless
- 6 ounces dark chocolate melted, high-quality
- 3 ounces white chocolate melted, high-quality
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- Sprinkles sea salt, for topping
Instructions
- Wash and dry the grapes thoroughly. Melt the dark and white chocolate, stirring 1/2 tablespoons of coconut oil into each. I like to do this to create a firmer coating.
- Skewer 4 or 5 (or more, whatever!) grapes on bamboo skewers. Dip the grapes into the dark chocolate and use a spoon to pour the chocolate over the grapes, covering them all, and then let the excess run back into the bowl. Place on a sheet of parchment paper to firm up. Once the dark chocolate is firm, drizzle the white chocolate on top. At this time you can cover the chocolate with sprinkles or sea salt or let it be. These stay firm at room temperature, but they taste the best when refrigerated!
