Candy addicts, lovers of Sour Patch Kids, and sour-heads, rejoice! There’s an easier, healthier alternative on the block, and you can whip them up in only 10 minutes flat. That’s right— we’re making Sour Patch Grapes!

Whether you call them Sour Patch Grapes, Candied Grapes, Frosted Grapes, or Glitter Grapes, this delicious combination of sweet and sour, tart and tasty just can’t be beat. All you need to do is wet some green grapes and roll them in powdered gelatin. That’s it!

We’ve made our Sour Patch Grapes the classic colors of red, orange and green— cherry, orange, and lime-flavored, of course! But you can change this easy recipe to make any flavors and/or colors you want. Just grab your favorite flavors, and start tossing and rolling those grapes.

Sour Patch Grapes
Prep: 10 Mins | Total: 10 Mins
Serves: 6-8 servings
Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients
1 1/2 Pounds Green Grapes, destemmed
1/4 Cup Water
3 Ounces Cherry Flavored Powdered Gelatin Mix (1 small box)
3 Ounces Orange Flavored Powdered Gelatin Mix (1 small box)
3 Ounces Lime Flavored Powdered Gelatin Mix (1 small box)
Directions
Place the destemmed grapes in a large bowl with the water, and toss to coat.
Place each flavored powdered gelatin mix on its own large plate or in its own gallon-sized resealable bag, and set aside.
A handful at a time, place about 1/3 of the grapes each into each flavor of powdered gelatin, and shake to coat.
Remove the grapes from the gelatin mix, plate, and serve. If desired, the coated Sour Patch Grapes can also be frozen at this point.
Chef Tips
Using a spray bottle to coat grapes in water will result in a more even coating when rolled in the gelatin mix.
For a thicker coating, grapes can be sprayed again with water and coated with gelatin mix a second time.

Want an even bigger burst of flavor? Easy. Just wet the coated grapes again, then roll and coat them all over again for thicker flavoring. They also taste great frozen and eaten straight out of the freezer. (Plus, that makes them last longer, too!)
