Sour Patch Grapes
These Sour Patch Grapes are sweet, tangy, and totally addicting. Coated in fruity gelatin powder and chilled until they have a candy-like crust, they’re the perfect make-ahead snack or party treat. Bonus: no baking required.
Servings: 12 servings
Equipment
- zip-top bags (one for each flavor of Jello used)
- colander
Ingredients
- 1 package cherry gelatin dessert mix 3 ounces
- 1 package orange gelatin dessert mix 3 ounces
- 1 package lemon gelatin dessert mix 3 ounces
- 1 package lime gelatin dessert mix 3 ounces
- 1 package berry blue gelatin dessert mix 3 ounces
- 1-1/2 to 2 pounds green grapes removed from stems and rinsed
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice lime juice or water
Instructions
- Empty each flavor of gelatin into its own large resealable zip-top bag.
- Add the rinsed grapes to a large bowl. Pour the lemon juice (or lime juice or water) over the grapes and toss with clean hands until everything is evenly coated and damp.
- Divide the grapes between the bags of gelatin. Seal the bags and shake until the grapes are fully coated in the powder.
- Remove the grapes from the bags and place them on a clean plate or baking sheet. Discard the leftover powder.
- Chill the coated grapes in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours, or until the gelatin sets into a candy-like crust.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Store in the fridge in a sealed container for up to 7 to 10 days, or freeze for up to 2 to 3 months.
- Don’t dry the grapes after rinsing. You want them damp so the gelatin sticks well.
- For a fun twist, try freezing the coated grapes for a frosty, chewy treat.
- Use any gelatin flavor you love. You don’t need all five – even one or two is great.
- Want less mess? Stick a toothpick in each grape, dip it in lemon juice, and then roll it in gelatin powder. Chill and eat them right off the toothpick, or pull them off to serve.
- Great for birthday parties, holiday treats, or as part of an easy snack dish platter.
