Steps:
- 1. Remove grapes from stems and wash them well. Lay the grapes out on paper towels to drain and dry. Pat dry any excess with a paper towel.
- 2. In a bowl with electric mixer, mix the cream cheese and blue cheese together until well combined.
- 3. Place the ground nuts in a pie plate or a deep bowl. Take a small amount of the cheese mixture;about 1 measuring Tbsp. or less and wrap this mixture around one of the grapes. Try to make the coating of cheese an even thickness all around the grape. Roll the grape in the nuts to evenly coat the cheese-ball and arrange on a tray.
- 4. I usually put them on a round tray and leave the center open to put a bunch of washed grapes on the stem in the center for decoration and snacking.
- 5. Cover the tray and put the entire tray in the refrigerator to chill. Remove from refrigerator about 20 minutes before serving.

Tips:
- For the best results, use seedless grapes.
- If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning.

- For a more savory appetizer, use a sharp cheddar cheese or a goat cheese.
- For a sweeter appetizer, use a fruit-flavored cheese, such as a cranberry or a fig cheese.
- If you are serving the cheese-wrapped grapes as an appetizer, you can drizzle them with a balsamic glaze or a honey glaze.
