Instructions

1. Prepare the Grapes:
   Start by thoroughly washing and draining the seedless grapes. After rinsing, carefully pat them dry with paper towels. It’s important to remove all excess moisture to ensure the chocolate adheres properly when dipped.

2. Cluster the Grapes:
   Once dry, group the grapes into small clusters of about 3 grapes each. This step is optional but helps in creating visually appealing little bunches that are easy to handle when coating. Place the clusters on a layer of paper towels or a clean dish towel to absorb any remaining moisture.

3. Melt the White Chocolate:
   Using a double boiler, melt the white chocolate. If you don’t have a double boiler, you can easily make one by placing a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water. Stir the chocolate constantly until it’s smooth and fully melted. Once melted, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

4. Coat the Grapes:
   Carefully dip each grape cluster into the melted white chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl. It’s important to coat the grapes thoroughly to ensure a nice layer of chocolate. Be gentle to avoid damaging the delicate fruit.

5. Roll in Chopped Cashews:
   After dipping in chocolate, immediately roll each cluster in the chopped roasted cashews. The cashews will stick to the chocolate, creating a delightful crunch with each bite. Be sure to coat each cluster evenly for the best texture.

6. Set on Waxed Paper:
   Place the coated grape clusters onto a sheet of waxed paper or parchment paper. This will help prevent them from sticking as the chocolate hardens.

7. Chill and Serve:
   Refrigerate the grape clusters for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate has completely set and hardened. Once firm, you can decorate the clusters with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and a touch of freshness. Serve chilled and enjoy these sweet and crunchy bites of goodness!

Tip:
For a fun twist, try substituting cashews with other nuts like pistachios or almonds, or experiment with adding a sprinkle of sea salt for a sweet-salty contrast.
