Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 2 cups seedless green grapes (washed and dried)
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup or agave syrup
- 1/2 cup pink cotton candy-flavored gelatin mix (such as pink Jell-O)
- Optional: sprinkles or edible glitter for decoration
Instructions
- Prepare the Grapes: Wash and thoroughly dry the seedless green grapes. Insert toothpicks or skewers into each grape if desired, to make dipping easier and less messy.
- Prepare Dipping Stations: Pour the light corn syrup or agave syrup into a shallow bowl. In a separate shallow dish, place the pink cotton candy-flavored gelatin powder.
- Coat the Grapes: Dip each grape completely in the syrup, allowing any excess to drip off. Immediately roll the grape in the pink gelatin powder until it is fully coated to achieve a bright, candy-like finish.
- Add Decorations: Arrange the coated grapes on a parchment-lined baking sheet or tray in a single layer. If you want to add sprinkles or edible glitter, sprinkle them on while the syrup coating is still sticky to ensure they adhere well.
- Chill to Set: Place the grapes in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes so the coating firm ups and sets properly.
- Serve: Serve the candied grapes chilled for the best texture and flavor. For a different experience, freeze them into a refreshing frozen treat.
Notes
- Ensure grapes are completely dry before coating; moisture prevents the syrup from sticking properly.
- Store any leftover candied grapes in the refrigerator for up to 2 days to maintain freshness.
- For a fun variation, freeze the candied grapes after coating for a candy-like frozen snack.
