How To Make Chocolate Coated Grapes

How To Make Chocolate Coated Grapes

Chocolate coated grapes are nice treats, and easy to make. You can make one or two, or heaps. They are great for special occasions, or just for a snack. Follow these simple steps to find out how to make them.

You need:

Grapes, any colour, as many as you want
Chocolate, plain milk, dark or white, a big block for 30-45 grapes 

What to do:

1. Take any stalks off grapes. Put them in a bag in the freezer/fridge for 10-15.
2. When the grapes are nearly frozen, put some chocolate in a microwaveable bowl. You need 1 big block for 30-45 grapes.
   
3. Melt the chocolate in the microwave for 1 minute periods. Stir in between. Do this until you have a thin liquid.
4. The grapes should be cold, and a little hard. Roll them in the melted chocolate and put onto a plate with baking paper. You can half coat, or fully coat in chocolate.

    5.  Put them back in the freezer, or just let them harden.

If this is done correctly, you should have a plate full of grapes with an outer layer of hard chocolate. You don't have to use grapes. You can use other fruits, like strawberries and other berries. You can put toothpicks in for easy and healthy eating.

Tri Teams Matrix

What we did: We made chocolate coated grapes to sell at Market Day.
How we did it: We got the stuff and froze the grapes. Then we dipped them in melted chocolate and put them in the fridge.
Why we did it: We did it because flax baskets were too hard.



We are Group 7.



To get some market research, we went around with our prototype and got people to eat them. We wrote down all the feedback and separated the good from the bad. Then we tried with frozen ones, and got the same people to test them. All of them preferred frozen grapes. Then we had everything we needed, so we did our finished product.



During Market Day, I was working full time. We sold lots of grapes. We had it 4 for $1.00 at first, but then we changed it to 5 for $1.00. Later we made it 6 for $1.00, but then we put it down to 50c for a napkin or a paper cup. It was lots of fun. I really enjoyed seeing people enjoy what we made. Maybe I'll be a checkout operator when I'm older!!!

Science Project

These photos are of our project. The bottom two are of our tri board and the top one is our plants. Going clockwise from top left: Seed Raising Mix; Sand; Mud; Compost.
The thing I enjoyed most about our project was when we got to go to Massey University to see one of Mr Herrings friends about plants.
Our team, consisting of Dionne, Kate and I, were really good at getting our work done, even though we had an occasional fight.
On the matrix, we could get better at nothing, because we think we were expert on everything!!!
Our social action went well. We decide to make a walkway for the school with native trees. When we talked to Mrs Peck about it, she showed us that we already have one, it's just that people don't know about it. So we will probably raise some money to make a proper walkway, not just dirt and grass. We might also try to raise lots of money to make name labels. It could go for years before it is completed, but we will start it.
