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.

      1. 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.

      1. 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.

      1. 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.

      1. 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.
