Ingredients
 

  • 2-3 lbs green grapes (one bag, seedless)
  • 6 oz Kool-Aid mix (2-3 flavors of Kool-Aid with 1 3-ounce packet per pound of grapes)

(Note: 2x or 3x only changes the ingredient list)

Help Us Out!If you love a recipe, be sure to come back and share your ratings. This helps future users, and allows me to continue sharing free recipes! Angela

Instructions
 

  • To get started, freeze your grapes for 1 hour. After an hour, remove the stems by giving them a quick twist (it's much easier when they are frozen).
  • After the stems have been removed, add your grapes to a colander and rinse them with cool water.
  • Transfer the grapes to ziploc bags (one for each color/flavor), then add the Kool-Aid, seal, and shake them up.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and pour the grapes onto it. Return to the freezer for 24 hours. After 24 hours, pull them out of the freezer and enjoy!

Notes

  • Do not completely dry your grapes after rinsing as the water will help the Kool-Aid powder stick!
  • These candied grapes are best frozen, when they thaw they will make a mess and some of the colors could stain fingers and clothes.
  • To store: Keep Kool-Aid grapes in a airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 month.
