Ingredients
- 4 cups seedless grapes, washed and slightly damp
- 1 packet unsweetened Kool-Aid drink mix (any flavor such as cherry, tropical punch, or blue raspberry)
- 2-3 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional, depending on sweetness preference)
Instructions
- Prepare the grapes: Wash the grapes thoroughly and leave them slightly wet so the coating will stick well to their surface.
- Coat with Kool-Aid: Place the damp grapes in a large resealable plastic bag or a mixing bowl. Add the Kool-Aid drink mix and sugar if desired. Seal the bag tightly or cover the bowl and shake or toss gently until the grapes are evenly coated with the Kool-Aid powder.
- Arrange for chilling or freezing: Spread the coated grapes out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and clumping.
- Chill or freeze: Refrigerate the grapes for 1 hour if you want a chilled treat, or freeze them for 1 to 2 hours if you prefer a frozen, candy-like texture.
- Serve: Serve the grapes immediately after chilling or freezing for the best texture and flavor experience.
Notes
- Try different Kool-Aid flavors for variety or mix two flavors together for a unique taste.
- Frozen Kool-Aid grapes have a crunchy, candy-like texture that is very popular as a refreshing summer snack.
- Green grapes provide a sweet-tart flavor, while red grapes make the snack sweeter and more intense.
