Sour Patch Grapes - Healthier than the Candy!
Description
Sour Patch Grapes recreate the tangy bite of classic sour candies using fresh grapes coated with a mix of candy powders and gelatin flavors. The recipe uses watermelon and green apple flavored candy powders combined with lemon and orange flavored gelatin mixes for a layered sour and fruity coating. Each grape is pierced with a toothpick, dipped in water, and rolled in the flavored powders, then chilled or frozen to set and firm the coating. This preparation yields a fresh, cold snack with sweet and sour tastes balanced by the natural juiciness of the grapes. The cooling process enhances the texture, making the coating adhere well and producing a slightly firm, icy bite if frozen. It offers a fun way to enjoy grapes with a candy-inspired twist.
Ingredients
- 1/3 watermelon candy mix see note, brand Jolly Rancher, boxed
- 1/3 green apple candy mix note, brand Jolly Rancher, boxed
- 1/3 lemon gelatin mix brand Jello, boxed
- 1/3 orange gelatin mix brand Jello, boxed
- 3 pounds green grapes
- Toothpicks
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Pour 1/3 of each flavor into small bowls.
- Poke a toothpick in a grape through the spot where the stem was attached.
- Using toothpick, dip in water and roll in mix. (Or just have a bowl of grapes sitting in water).
- Put in fridge for as long as it takes to chill them completely. You can also freeze them overnight.
- Once they are fully chilled or frozen remove the toothpicks.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- If the specified Jolly Rancher flavors are unavailable, try substitutes like blueberry, grape, watermelon, raspberry, black cherry, or cranberry powders for a tart and colorful coating.
- Using toothpicks to dip and coat the grapes helps keep hands clean and ensures even coverage.
- Chilling the coated grapes in the fridge or freezing overnight firms the coating and intensifies the refreshing sensation when eaten.
