Candy Grapes

These Candy Grapes are a delightful twist on a classic snack, enveloping fresh grapes in a shimmering candy shell, perfect for adding a pop of color and sweetness to any occasion!

Ingredients

  • 20–25 grapes, washed and completely dried

  • 2 cups white sugar

  • 1/2 cup water

  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup

  • White gel food coloring

  • Other gel colors of your choice (neon pink and sky blue suggested)

  • 2 teaspoons flavored oil (e.g., vanilla or citrus)

  • Sprinkles for decorating (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Grapes: Insert a skewer into each grape and set aside.

  2. Cook the Sugar Mixture: In a saucepan, combine the sugar, water, and corn syrup. Cook over medium to high heat until the mixture reaches 300°F (149°C), using a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature.

  3. Add Color: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the white gel food coloring and flavored oil. Add 3-4 drops of your chosen colors and swirl gently to combine.

  4. Coat the Grapes: Dip each grape into the candy mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Optionally, roll the coated grapes in sprinkles for added decoration.

  5. Dry the Grapes: Place the candy-coated grapes on parchment paper or a silicone mat to dry for 15 minutes, or refrigerate for 10 minutes to set.
