Sour Patch Grapes

SUGARED JELL-O GRAPES

These jell-o coated grapes have been all over the internet for years so I’m not really sure who the original creator is, but hats off to them because these are so fun! I’ve slightly changed the original recipe (from grapes, water, and jell-o mix) adding one more ingredient that I think really “makes” these grapes! Instead of coating the grapes in water and then in the jell-o, I dip them in lemon-lime soda. It adds another fun element of flavor and sweetness. You can use diet or regular soda for these and pretty much whatever flavor jell-o mix.

With the light coating of jell-o you’ll get a bit of a tangy-sour flavor AND a slight crunch of sugar. With the sweetness of the soda and of course the grapes, these treats are unbeatable!

Sugared Jell-o Grapes

By Chelsea Lords

Ingredients  

• ▢ 2 pounds grapes (red or green or an assortment of both)
• ▢ 1-2 packages Jell-o Mix (you'll use about 1 (3 ounce) package of jell-o mix for that many grapes, but you can use 1/2 of one flavor and 1/2 of another if desired (do not prepare the jell-o; you use the package DRY)
• ▢ 1/3 cup lemon-lime soda (diet or regular)
• ▢ Toothpicks

Instructions 

• Prepare the grapes by removing from the stems, washing, and then drying.
• Set out the jell-o mix (or mixes) in a small bowl (or bowls). Pour the soda in another small bowl.
• Using a toothpick, piece halfway through a grape and then dip it all the way in the soda.
• Remove and gently tap the grape on the side of the bowl and then roll it in the (dry) jell-o mix.
• Place in the fridge to allow the gelatin to set up a bit, about 20-30 minutes.
