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.
BLUE CHEESE GRAPES WITH SPICY, TOASTED PISTACHIOS RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:
- 1. Blend cream cheese and blue cheese together until smooth and well blended. 2. Place pistachios, sugar, sea salt and ground Chipotle Chile Pepper in blender or food processor. Pulse ingredients until the pistachios are ground but not powdery. 3. Place pistachio mixture in a non-stick fry pan on medium heat. Stir until you begin to smell the pistachios toasting and the sugar begins to melt. Continue to stir until mixture is toasty. Remove from heat, if necessary while stirring so that nuts don't burn. Cool to room temperature. 4. Place cheese mixture in one bowl and nut mixture on a plate. Take one grape at a time and cover in the cheese mixture, but not too thick. The cheese should barely cover the grape. Do this with all the grapes that you plan to serve. 5. Place the cheesy wrapped grapes in the nut mixture one at a time and roll thoroughly in the nuts. Set aside and rolls the next cheesy grape. Do this for all grapes. 6. Place the grapes on a serving plate and chill until ready to serve. It gets better as it warms to room temperature.
Tips:
- Choose ripe and firm grapes: Using grapes that are too soft or unripe will result in a less than ideal texture and flavor.
- Variety of nuts: Experiment with different types of nuts, such as walnuts, pecans, almonds, or pistachios, to add different flavors and textures to the dish.
- Blue cheese quality: Opt for a high-quality blue cheese that is creamy and flavorful. A strong blue cheese will overpower the other ingredients, while a mild blue cheese will be lost in the mix.
- Fresh herbs: Use freshly chopped herbs, such as parsley, chives, or thyme, to add a pop of color and extra flavor to the dish.
- Seasoning: Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings to your taste. A little bit of salt and pepper can go a long way in enhancing the flavors of the dish.
- Serving temperature: Serve the grapes at room temperature or slightly chilled for the best flavor and texture.
