Caramel Apples Made with Grapes
Are these Caramel Apple Grapes not the cutest things ever?! They’re basically like a caramel apple, but made with green grapes instead. So much easier to make…and eat!
These are so much fun for parties, game day, bridal showers, or any occasion. Every time I serve them, they are gobbled up in a flash.
Another fun snack made with caramel sauce is our caramel apple nachos!
Why Not Just Call Them Caramel Grapes?
But shouldn’t they just be called Caramel Grapes, since there’s no apple in this recipe? << I get that question ALL THE TIME. It’s a fun twist on a classic caramel apple. See the correlation…
And they really do taste like little bites of caramel apple! But if the name bothers you, you can call them whatever you want. Nobody you serve them to will care. They’ll just ask for more!
Helpful Tips
- Grapes need to be completely dry. Make sure your grapes are completely dry or the caramel won’t stick to them!
- Caramel candies or Caramel bits. You can use either unwrapped caramel candies or caramel bits (if you can find them). Just make sure you have 1 cup total.
- Keep the caramel sauce warm. Once caramel and cream melt, keep the sauce on the lowest heat setting so it stays warm, otherwise it hardens fast and you won’t be able to dip the grapes.
- These can be made a day prior to serving. Just keep them in the refrigerator and let them sit out about 30 minutes before serving (or not – they’re delicious cold, too!)
Caramel Apple Grapes
Ingredients
- 50 seedless green grapes, wiped completely dry
- 1 cup chewy caramel candies, unwrapped (see note)
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 cup salted peanuts, crushed finely

Instructions
- Poke toothpicks into your grapes; set aside.
- In a small pot, over medium-low heat, combine the caramel candies and heavy cream. Stir until melted. Reduce heat to lowest setting just to keep warm.
- Dip the grapes into the caramel sauce and then into the crushed nuts. Place on a plate to set. Repeat until all the grapes are used.
- That’s it! Pop those babies in your mouth and enjoy!

Can I dip the grapes in homemade caramel sauce instead of the store bought candy?
No, sorry. Caramel sauce doesn’t harden/set properly for these.
For the adult “boozy” option, I used salted caramel vodka vs . plain….yummy :)
Omg Amy these are so good
I’ve been making these grapes all summer can’t wait to make for Fall holidays. Thank you
I didn’t use toothpicks. I just snipped the grapes leaving a small stem .
Thanks for this idea! I made a big batch and definitely didn’t have the 70 toothpicks I would’ve needed!
I love this recipe,so easy. I used toasted coconut on some.yummy
I’m excited to make this delicious treat. Can you make these the night before and store them in the fridge?
love these but they wanted to stick to the parchment paper. took to Church dinner and they stuck to the parchment. i melted carmels in microwave with 2 tbls water. do you think should have not added water?
This recipe does not include water, so it is possible that was the problem. I’ve never had this issue.
Hi Amy,
I am making these cuties for a church get together. But I only have half and half, no heavy cream.,would this work?
That should be fine since it’s such a small amount. It just aids in breaking down the caramel and making it creamy.
I make mine using white chocolate slowly melted in the microwave. Dip in chopped peanuts or chopped mixed nuts immediately after dipping in the white chocolate. I use the seedless red grapes. I just grab a handful of toothpicks, stab a grape, dip in white chocolate then the chopped nuts and place them on a tray. My friends refer to them as “crack grapes “ and request them frequently!
I just tested this recipe with 10 werthers soft carmels and a tablespoon of heavy cream worked well on 30 large grapes dipped in finely chopped roasted peanuts…it helps them to stand up too. I’ll test with carmel bits however werthers is a higher end carmel….Hope that helps.
This recipe is amazing!!!!! Just the right amount of sweet and juicy! Takes a little time to make, but they are so worth it!
Caramel bits? What are those? Do you mean caramel candy, that comes wrapped in cellphane? Often made by Kraft? Or are you referring to something else?

Can you use Carmel sauce that comes in a jar?
OMG so surprisingly delicious. I made this for an appetizer party and it was a big hit. I wen tto the craft store and bought a $5 dollar piece of round styrofoam and speared them all around.
Not only gorgeous but totally delicious. Thank you!

This recipe was a hit for my girls night out paint party.
I made these for a party last night. They were a hit! Everyone loved them. They do taste just like a caramel apple.
I made these for a neighborhood gathering during COVID times, and they were perfect, as no serving utensils needed to be shared. They’re a perfect Fall treat. They’re so cute, and quite delicious!
I made these today as a mini dessert for my husband. I had to sneak a few as I was making them. We both agreed that they taste exactly like a true caramel apple. Totally awesome! Will definitely make again for a treat at here at home but also for family gatherings. Thank you for the recipe!!
These are delicious!!! I found your recipe through google and soon as I read the title I wanted to go home and make them. They came out so good!!! Thanks for this recipe, I will be officially looking for more great recipes from you. Keep up the good work:)
How far in advance can I make these?
