Ingredients
Scale
Grapes
- 1 pound seedless green or red grapes (washed and dried)
Coating
- ¼ cup light corn syrup or agave syrup
- ½ cup pink cotton candy-flavored gelatin powder (or any pink gelatin like strawberry or cherry)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional, for extra crunch)
Instructions
- Prepare the grapes: Remove grapes from stems, wash thoroughly, and pat completely dry with paper towels to ensure the coating adheres well.
- Prepare syrup and gelatin mixture: Pour the corn syrup into a shallow bowl. In a separate shallow bowl, combine the pink cotton candy-flavored gelatin powder with granulated sugar if using.
- Coat grapes: Roll each grape lightly in the corn syrup until evenly coated, then immediately roll it in the gelatin mixture until fully covered with the pink powder.
- Set the coating: Arrange the coated grapes in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking.
- Chill: Refrigerate the grapes for at least 1 hour to allow the gelatin coating to set properly.
- Serve: Serve the candied grapes chilled for a refreshing snack. For an extra crisp texture, freeze them for 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Experiment with different gelatin flavors and colors for a colorful variety of candied grapes.
- Freezing the grapes before serving makes them extra cold and crisp, perfect for warm weather.
- These candied grapes make a fun party snack or a healthy candy alternative.
