Ingredients
6 lbs green grapes, washed and very well dried
12 oz Kool-Aid mix (use multiple flavors for rainbow effect – think cherry, blue raspberry, tropical punch)
1–2 tbsp lemon or lime juice (twist: enhances the tang!)
Optional: a touch of superfine sugar for extra sparkle
Toothpicks or skewers (for fun, mess-free serving)
Instructions
Prep the Grapes: Remove grapes from stems, rinse thoroughly, and pat them completely dry. Any moisture will prevent the Kool-Aid from sticking.
Add a Tangy Base: Lightly mist grapes with lemon or lime juice in a large bowl, tossing gently to coat. This helps the powder adhere and adds zing.
Dust with Flavor: Pour Kool-Aid mix into a large zip-top bag. Working in batches, add grapes and shake until coated. For a candy-like finish, sprinkle in a little superfine sugar.
Freeze for the Magic: Spread grapes in a single layer on a parchment-lined tray. Freeze for 12–24 hours until fully set and frosty.
Serve & Store: Serve frozen for an icy crunch, or slightly thawed for chewy candy vibes. Store in an airtight container in the freezer.
