Instructions

Notes
- Choose seedless grapes for a smoother chocolate-coating experience and easier eating.
- Completely dry grapes prevent water droplets from causing chocolate to seize or become grainy.
- Pat grapes gently with paper towels to remove excess moisture without bruising delicate fruit.
- Use room temperature grapes to help chocolate adhere more evenly and prevent cracking.
- Select white chocolate with higher cocoa butter content for better melting and glossy finish.
- Consider using gel food coloring for more vibrant blue galaxy effect without altering chocolate consistency.
- Opt for edible pearl dust or metallic sprinkles to enhance the celestial galaxy theme.
- Work quickly when adding decorations to ensure they stick before candy coating hardens.
- Store galaxy grapes in a single layer in an airtight container to maintain crisp chocolate shell.
- Refrigerate for up to 3 days, but consume within 24 hours for best texture and flavor.
- Perfect for kids’ parties, dessert tables, or as a unique low-calorie sweet treat.
- Try different candy melt colors to create various galaxy or cosmic designs.
