Ingredients
- 2 cups seedless green grapes, washed and thoroughly dried
- 1 (3 oz) packet pink cotton candy-flavored gelatin mix (or any pink Jell-O)
- ¼ cup light corn syrup
Instructions
- Prepare the Grapes: Ensure the grapes are completely washed and thoroughly dried to help the coating stick properly.
- Coat with Corn Syrup: Place the dried grapes in a large bowl. Drizzle the light corn syrup over them and toss gently until each grape is evenly coated with a thin sticky layer.
- Apply Gelatin Coating: Spread the pink cotton candy gelatin mix evenly on a plate or shallow dish. Roll each syrup-coated grape in the gelatin powder, turning to cover all sides fully with the sugary coating.
- Set the Coating: Arrange the coated grapes on a parchment-lined baking sheet, making sure they don’t touch each other. Leave them uncovered at room temperature for about 1 hour to allow the candy coating to set and harden slightly.
- Serve or Store: Serve the candied grapes immediately for best texture, or refrigerate in a single layer for up to 2 days. For an extra crunchy experience, chill them in the freezer for 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Make sure grapes are completely dry before starting the coating process to ensure the candy layer adheres properly.
- Experiment with different flavored gelatin mixes to create unique taste variations.
- For a firmer crunch, chill the coated grapes in the freezer for about 15 minutes before serving.
