Frozen Candy Grapes with Jello are a simple, fun, and refreshing treat! Grapes are coated in flavored Jello powder and frozen to create a candy-like texture with a burst of fruity flavor. Perfect for a sweet snack or a cool treat on hot days.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups seedless grapes (red or green, or a mix of both)
- 1 small box of flavored Jello (such as strawberry, lime, or raspberry)
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)
- 1 tablespoon water (for dipping)
Instructions
-
Prep the Grapes:
- Wash the grapes thoroughly and remove the stems. Pat them dry with a paper towel or clean kitchen towel to ensure they are dry before coating.
-
Prepare the Jello Coating:
- In a small bowl, pour the flavored Jello powder. If you want a sweeter coating, mix in 1 tablespoon of sugar.
- In another small bowl, add 1 tablespoon of water to create a slight dip for the grapes to make the Jello stick better.
-
Coat the Grapes:
- Lightly dip each grape into the water to moisten it, then roll it in the flavored Jello powder. Make sure the grape is fully coated in Jello. Repeat this step for all the grapes.
-
Freeze the Grapes:
- Place the coated grapes in a single layer on a baking sheet or tray lined with parchment paper.
- Freeze the grapes for at least 2-3 hours, or until they are completely frozen and the Jello coating has hardened.
-
Serve:
- Once frozen, transfer the candy grapes to a bowl and enjoy! They can be eaten right away or stored in a freezer-safe bag or container for future snacking.
Notes
- Jello Flavors: You can get creative and mix different Jello flavors, or try using sugar-free Jello for a lower-calorie option.
- Grapes: Both red and green grapes work well, but the red grapes give a fun, colorful look when coated with vibrant Jello.
- Sweetness: If you want the coating to be sweeter, feel free to adjust the sugar level. You can even add a pinch of salt for a sweet-salty flavor.
- Serving Tip: These frozen candy grapes are great for summer parties, snacks for kids, or as a cool treat on a hot day!
