Grape Chocolate Roses is an elegant dessert idea that is surprisingly simple and only uses two ingredients.
Choose similarly sized grapes in an oblong shape, halve them, and place them on top of a dark chocolate (or milk chocolate) disc. You'll need a few smaller grapes for the center. Top with a fresh basil or mint leaf and allow to set.
Serve these beautiful chocolate roses as a delicious after-dinner snack, or top them on cupcakes and cakes.
If you want to go all in, make a giant chocolate rose bark for special occasions (perfect for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day, and birthdays).
They even make great gifts - stick them in a transparent candy bag to share the love.
