Servings: skewers à 6-7 grapes
Ingredients
- 17 oz seedless grapes (red, black or green)
- 7 oz high quality dark chocolate or chocolate chips (or milk, white, vegan...)
- 1-2 tsp coconut oil (optional)
You can find detailed step-by step-photos above the recipe card.
Instructions
- Give the grapes a good wash and dry thoroughly.
- Break the chocolate into smaller chunks and melt it together with the coconut oil in the microwave on low heat. Stir every so often to ensure even melting.
- Alternatively, you can use the double boiler method (see notes).
Single Grape Method
- Put each grape on a toothpick or short skewer and dip it into the chocolate followed by your topping of choice.
- Place them onto a sheet of parchment paper and put in the fridge to set (around 1 hour).
Multiple Grapes Method
- If using longer skewers (such as wooden kebab skewers) I would recommend a different method. Throw 5-7 grapes (or how many you want to skew) into the melted chocolate and toss until evenly coated.
- Then skew them one at a time using your fingers for help (I don't know how to properly word this in English)
- Place them onto a sheet of parchment paper, add your toppings of choice and put in the fridge to set (around 1 hour).

Notes
- Double Boiler Method: ...is a melting technique where chocolate is heated in a small pot placed inside a larger pot filled with simmering water. The steam from the water melts the chocolate evenly and gently, preventing burning or curdling.
- Don’t burn the chocolate when melting! Microwave on low-medium heat and stir intermittently to encourage even melting.
- Allow the excess chocolate to drip off before laying them on the parchment or wax paper.
- Ensure there is space between each covered grape while they are setting in the fridge.
- High-quality chocolate: Choose high-quality chocolate with a high cocoa content and minimal additives like artificial flavors or sweeteners.
- Vegan: choose vegan chocolate and toppings.
