I have made these 3 times. I recommend cutting the sugar to 1 Tablespoon. It allows the natural sweetness of the grapes to pop. I process the nuts prior to toasting in a skillet. It doesn't matter the size of the grapes...I've used all sizes. Last night I did not tell anyone what they were about to try...they had no idea there was a grape inside. Everyone's eyes popped open with delight. I used crumbled gorgonzola this time & half & half instead of heavy cream...you cannot tell the difference. LOVE this recipe~ Thank you beautiful Giada!

Recommended to me by a friend who made them for a Super Bowl party....they were GREAT! Next time will use the food processor to chop the walnuts before making the cheese mixture...."finely chopped nuts" take awhile doing them by hand.

These are surprisingly addictive. Chock full of flavor and texture. Well worth the 2-3 hour wait for these little yummies.

Made for the first time in 2011 and it continues to be a hit. It is a messy job but the raves are worth it.

It was a hit at the party today - very good. I tripled the recipe and came up on the nuts. Also a little to sweet. Next time I will cut back on the sugar. Even with a single batch, I could never have got it done in 15 minutes.

This was just ok. The balance of salty and sweet was off for me. I wish I hadn't added the sugar to the walnuts. The grapes are sweet enough on their own and the sugar overpowered the saltiness of the cheese mixture. Will not make again.

These were fantastic! Made for friends and they just loved them! The crunchiness and sugar coating along with the cheese flavors really are different in a good way! Thanks Giada!

It was very good! I fixed this for my BFF's birthday diner and we both loved it! I used macadamia nuts & pistachio's and also did some with the walnuts. They were all very tasty. Time consuming to make but great if you have the time to do it. I don't think it is practical for large groups( greater than 4 ppl.

This recipe was a home run! Simple, elegant, and delicious! I made it for a baby shower and received numerous compliments and requests for the recipe! I used large black seedless grapes and they were perfect - I believe the larger the grape the better for this recipe. I have already added this to my "Favorites" file. Thanks Giada!
