Chocolate-covered Grapes

If you like chocolate-covered strawberries you will surely love this with grapes.  

My mother does this every time we have a small party here in our house.  She served it in small clusters, and it must be well chilled when dipping it with chocolates to ensure a nice chocolate finish.


All you need is 1 lb. seedless grapes and 1/2 lb. best-quality bittersweet, milk, or white chocolate, coarsely chopped.

Line a large baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper.  Use scissors to snip the grapes into small bunches.  Put them in the freezer while you melt the chocolate.

In a medium saucepan, bring 2 inches of water to a bare simmer.  Put the chocolate in a stainless-steel bowl big enough to rest on top of the saucepan and set it over the pan, making sure it doesn't touch the water.  Heat, whisking occasionally, until most of the chocolate is melted.  Remove from the heat and whisk until smooth.

Hold a bunch of grapes by the stem over the bowl of chocolate.  Use a spoon chocolate over the the grapes to coat them completely, letting the excess drip back into the bowl.  Arrange on the prepared baking sheet and repeat with the remaining grapes.  Freeze for 10 minutes and serve, or refrigerate for up to 1 day before serving.

Very easy.  I love doing it again and again.  By the way this kind of recipe(I guess) it serves 4.  ^_^

Bon Appetit!!!
