TOFFEE GRAPES
We are all familiar with toffee apples. Why not toffee grapes? An unusual and scrumptious, low calorie, NO FAT addition to the cheese platter for those willing to try something a little bit different, and those not afraid to mix sweet and savoury. This recipe appeared in the November 2005 issue of 'Australian Good Taste'. It recommends these grapes as an ideal accompaniment to strong cheeses such as gorgonzola, and suggests serving them with a sparkling Shiraz. The preparation and cooking times do not include the 10 minutes setting time. I have two other toffeed fruit recipes posted: Recipe #153652 and Recipe #344180.

Steps:
- Line 2 baking trays with non-stick baking paper; and using kitchen scissors, cut the grapes into small bunches of 3-6 grapes.
- Combine the sugar and water in a heavy-based saucepan and stir over a low heat until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat to medium and gently boil, without stirring, occasionally brushing down the sides of the pan with a pastry brush dipped in water, for 12-15 minutes or until golden, then set the toffee mixture aside until the bubbles have reduced.
- Using kitchen tongs to hold the stem (or if your tongs are too large for this job, a pair of tweezers), gently dip a grape cluster into the toffee mixture and turn it evenly to ensure that it is fully coated. Transfer the grapes to the prepared tray. Repeat with the remaining grapes and toffee mixture. Set aside for 10 minutes or until the toffee sets.
- Arrange the grapes on a cheese board with the assorted cheeses of your choice. And serve with water biscuits, Oaten Biscuits Recipe #144738 and bread slices.

Tips:
- Select ripe and firm grapes: Choose grapes that are plump, firm, and have no blemishes. Avoid grapes that are soft or have wrinkles.
- Wash the grapes thoroughly: Rinse the grapes under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
- Pat the grapes dry: Use a paper towel to gently pat the grapes dry. This will help the chocolate coating adhere better.
- Use high-quality chocolate: Choose a good-quality semisweet or dark chocolate for the coating. This will result in a richer and more flavorful treat.
- Temper the chocolate: Tempering the chocolate will help it set properly and give it a smooth, glossy finish. You can temper chocolate by melting it slowly over a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring constantly.
- Chill the grapes before dipping: Chilling the grapes before dipping them in the chocolate will help the chocolate set more quickly and prevent it from melting.
- Use a variety of toppings: Get creative with your toppings! You can use chopped nuts, sprinkles, candy pieces, or even edible glitter to decorate your grape tuxedo bites.
- Store the grape tuxedo bites properly: Store the grape tuxedo bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
