The Iron Camp Cook Halloween Challenge!
Sason:
Come to think of it...
Hm...why not melt the chocolate, and dip the grapes in it.
Does that count as an entry for the challenge?

You bet, friend! Now you're getting the hang of it!! But, what kind of grapes? What kind of chocolate? How would you melt it? And, chocolate is sticky so would you like to roll the chocolate grapes in something else, like chopped pistacios or coconut? And, what about the Halloween angle? What can you do to make the grapes creepy? (Personally I think that peeled grapes are pretty creepy looking, myself)

That was exactly my thought. It's actually something I've eaten before, and liked very much.
For the Halloween aspect: take white chocolate and sprinkle/drip with red fruit sauce. Voilá, you have Gored Bloody Eyeballs.

Details, details.... LOL
My original thought was what Chrissi already posted about, so here's a different take on it:
Melt chocolate, milk chocolate for kids, dark for adults, and pour into it a mixture of raisins (dried grapes) and chopped nuts. It could be any nuts or mixture thereof: almonds, hazelnuts, pecans, walnuts, pistachios etc.
Put spoonfuls of the mixture on a baking sheet in little heaps, and let cool and harden.
The creepy thing about it is the calories it contains.

I just made up a recipe. It seems to be really a hit with the family.
Rocky road grapes (if it is for Halloween make it rocky mountain nuts)
;)
First freeze your grapes. I prefer the red seedless, but you can use your preference
Melt the chocolate, your preference again, dark or milk. (I like dark) toll house.
Use a long toothpick and dip the frozen grapes in melted chocolate chocolate.
place on a silpat or waxed paper to cool and get slightly solid
toast pecans and then crush into medium to small pieces.
roll the chocolate covered grapes in pecans.
Yummy, dive right in.
Easy make for any occasion or just for a simple treat.
If you like it, you can chop up the small marshmellows and add that to the
nuts after they are toasted. I like using the microwave for about 45 sec. Depends
on your own appliance. Placing them on a ironware plate for toasting, uncovered.
