CHOCOLATE GRAPES
Instead of hand-dipping fruits, as one does with strawberries, you can make a hundred of these in just a few minutes. It is always very amusing when you put a plateful on the table after a meal. Invariably people say, "No thanks, I'm full already," no doubt thinking that you are presenting a dense chocolate bonbon. Then, when they bite in and get a juicy, tart squirt of flavor, they always reach for another.

Steps:
- Dry the grapes well and place them in a bowl large enough to toss them easily. Line a baking sheet with a Silpat or parchment paper.
- Add the chocolate to the grapes about 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring well with a spatula, carefully scraping the sides of the bowl and folding through the center of the grapes to coat all of them evenly.
- When the chocolate begins to set, using a small strainer, sprinkle the cocoa powder little by little over the surface. Gently toss or stir the grapes as you sift, continuing to add the cocoa until all of the grapes are well coated and separated. Spread on the prepared sheet.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the chocolate is set, or for up to 1 day.
Tips:
- Choose the right grapes: Use firm and ripe grapes for best results. Avoid grapes that are too soft or damaged.
- Wash the grapes thoroughly: Rinse the grapes under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
- Skewer the grapes: Use wooden skewers or lollipop sticks to skewer the grapes. This will make them easier to dip and eat.
- Melt the chocolate: You can melt the chocolate in a microwave or over a double boiler. If using a microwave, heat the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted. If using a double boiler, place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Stir the chocolate until melted and smooth.
- Dip the grapes in the chocolate: Hold the skewered grapes by the stick and dip them into the melted chocolate. Roll the grapes around to coat them evenly.
- Add toppings: While the chocolate is still wet, you can add toppings such as sprinkles, chopped nuts, or grated coconut. You can also drizzle the grapes with melted white chocolate or caramel.
- Chill the grapes: Place the chocolate-covered grapes on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
Conclusion:
Chocolate-covered grapes are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover grapes. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and impressive snack or dessert. Get creative and experiment with different toppings to find your favorite combination.
