Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Seedless green or red grapes
- 8 ounces Dark chocolate (at least 60% cocoa)
- 1 teaspoon Unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Chili powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Flaky sea salt (optional)
- 24 pieces Toothpicks or small skewers
- 1 sheet Parchment or wax paper
Instructions
1. Wash and thoroughly dry the grapes to ensure the chocolate sticks properly. Set them aside.
2. Insert a toothpick or small skewer into each grape, leaving enough of the stick exposed to hold comfortably.
3. Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper and set it aside.
4. Chop the dark chocolate into small, even pieces to help it melt uniformly.
5. In a heatproof bowl, combine the chopped chocolate and unsalted butter. Melt them together using a double boiler or in the microwave in 15-second increments, stirring after each interval until smooth and glossy.
6. Holding the stick, dip each grape into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated or partially dipped (depending on your preference). Let any excess chocolate drip off.
7. Place the dipped grape onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet.
8. While the chocolate is still wet, lightly sprinkle a pinch of chili powder over each grape. Add a small dash of flaky sea salt, if desired, for extra flavor.
9. Once all the grapes are coated and seasoned, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator to allow the chocolate to set for about 20-30 minutes.
10. Serve the chocolate-covered grapes chilled and enjoy the delightful combination of sweet, spicy, and salty flavors!
