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