Ingredients

6 oz Kool-Aid mix
3 lbs green grapes

Instructions

Step 1: Freeze your grapes for one hour to make it easier to handle and help them absorb the flavor.
Step 2: Remove the stems from the grapes while they are still frozen; the stems will twist off more easily.
Step 3: Rinse the grapes under cool water using a colander to clean them.
Step 4: Divide the grapes evenly into separate ziplock bags for each Kool-Aid flavor you want to use.
Step 5: Add the Kool-Aid mix to each bag, seal tightly, and shake well to coat the grapes evenly with the powder.
Step 6: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the coated grapes out in a single layer.
Step 7: Freeze the grapes for 24 hours until fully frozen. Once ready, enjoy your flavorful frozen treat.

Tips & Variations

Try different Kool-Aid flavors to create a colorful variety of grapes for parties or snacks.
If you prefer less sweetness, reduce the Kool-Aid mix slightly or rinse the grapes lightly after coating.
Use red or black grapes for a different look and flavor profile.

Storage

Keep the Kool Aid Grapes frozen in an airtight container or ziplock bag for up to one week. To enjoy, eat them straight from the freezer—no reheating needed.

FAQs

Can I use fresh grapes instead of frozen ones?

Freezing the grapes first helps the stems come off easily and allows the Kool-Aid powder to stick better. Fresh grapes won’t absorb the flavor as well.

Will the Kool-Aid powder dissolve on the grapes?

The powder coats the grapes without fully dissolving, giving each bite a burst of flavor and a slight tangy texture that makes this snack unique.

Ingredients

6 oz Kool-Aid mix (any flavor or multiple flavors)
3 lbs green grapes

Instructions

Freeze the grapes: Place the green grapes in a single layer on a tray and freeze them for about 1 hour to make them easier to handle and to prepare them for the Kool-Aid coating.
Remove stems: Once the grapes are frozen, twist off the stems easily while the grapes are still frozen to keep them firm and intact.
Rinse grapes: Put the stemmed grapes in a colander and rinse gently with cool water to remove any ice crystals or impurities.
Divide grapes by flavor: Separate the grapes into different ziplock bags if using multiple Kool-Aid flavors to avoid mixing flavors.
Add Kool-Aid powder: Sprinkle the appropriate amount of Kool-Aid powder into each bag of grapes. Seal each bag tightly and shake vigorously to coat the grapes evenly with the powder.
Prepare for final freezing: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the coated grapes out in a single layer to prevent clumping.
Freeze again: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 24 hours to let the grapes freeze solid with the Kool-Aid coating. Once frozen, the Kool Aid Grapes are ready to enjoy as a cool, flavorful snack.

Notes

You can use any Kool-Aid flavor you prefer, or mix and match for variety.
Freezing the grapes before and after coating is key to retaining the texture and flavor.
These grapes are best eaten within a few days to enjoy their freshness and crunch.
Use seedless grapes for the best eating experience.
If you want less sugary coating, reduce the amount of Kool-Aid mix slightly.
