Directions

1. Wash grapes and pat them dry. Chop hazelnuts and pistachios or crush them in a blender.
2. Next, roll the grapes between your palms in goat cheese pieces. Make sure to cover each individual grape well in the cheese.
3. Then spread gently a dash of honey on each goat-cheese-covered-grape and roll them individually in chopped hazelnuts or pistachios. Slice in half or leave them whole. Refrigerate until serving or eat them straight away with toothpicks.
