Ingredients

For Sour Candy Grapes

For Sweet Candied Grapes

Instructions

  • Place the grapes in a bowl and cover with water. Let sit for a minute or two.
  • While the grapes rest, place the Kool-Aid powder (for sour candy) or sugar (for sweet candy) in a gallon size Ziploc bag. 
  • Drain the grapes and shake as much excess water off as possible without dabbing them with a paper towel. 
  • Dump the grapes into the bag with the powder or sugar. Seal the bag and shake all around until the grapes are coated.  
  • Remove the grapes with tongs or a toothpick, or dump them into a dry colander to remove them from the coating. 
  • Transfer to a plate or container and store in the fridge for an hour, or until dry.

Notes

  • Use other flavors - I liked using the red flavors as it made the color pop up better for photographs. However, you can use any Kool Aid flavor or off-brand powder you like.  
  • Go with lighter coverage - If you don’t want such a thick layer of flavoring on your grapes, you can opt for dipping them one by one. Use a toothpick and dip them into the powder to control how much coverage they retain.
