Ingredients
Main Ingredients
1lbseedless green grapes (preferred for tartness), red grapes, or cotton candy grapes
1packetunsweetened Kool-Aid drink mix (flavor of choice) OR 1 pack (3 oz) Jell-O powder0.13 oz packet if using Kool-Aid
1/3cupgranulated sugar or Stevia (only if using unsweetened Kool-Aid)
1splashWater (for rinsing)
Instructions
Remove grapes from the stems and place them in a colander.
Wash and rinse the grapes thoroughly, leaving them slightly damp so the powder will adhere.
In a large Ziploc bag or shallow bowl, combine the Kool-Aid powder and sugar (or the Jell-O powder if using as a sweet alternative).
Add the damp grapes to the bag or bowl and shake or toss until each grape is evenly coated in the powder mixture.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Spread the coated grapes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 2 to 4 hours, or until the grapes are frozen solid.
Serve immediately as a refreshing treat. Pro-tip: Use toothpicks for serving to prevent the powder from staining fingers.
