Frozen Grapes, Chocolate & Grappa

If you're having a nice night with mates and there's good wine and some conversation happening then I think this is a lovely thing to bring out a few hours after dinner. It's like a sorbet, but without the work. Fiery chilled grappa, good-quality chocolate and delicious frozen grapes are a great little combo that show you care and you've made a bit of effort. You could either use dark chocolate or a mixture of different flavours, depending on what you fancy.
