→ Optional Toppings

Chili powder
11 -
Tajín spice
# Instructions:
01 -
Take the grapes off their stems and rinse them well. Dry them fully with paper towels so the Jell-O powder sticks nicely.
02 -
Set a small bowl of water and pour different Jell-O powders into separate dishes. Line them up so you can coat the grapes quickly.
03 -
Cover a pan with parchment paper so the grapes don’t stick while freezing. Make sure the tray fits in your freezer.
04 -
Stick a toothpick into every grape. Doing this will make them easier to roll in the powder without getting messy.
05 -
Briefly dip a grape in the water—just enough to wet it. Roll it straight into a Jell-O powder dish so it’s covered all around, then shake off extra powder.
06 -
Put each coated grape on the pan, making sure they aren’t touching. Keep going until all grapes are done.
07 -
While still fresh, sprinkle Tajín or chili powder onto some of the coated grapes for a sweet-and-spicy twist.
08 -
Pop the tray into the freezer and let the grapes freeze for at least an hour or until they’re nice and firm.
09 -
You can remove the toothpicks and eat right away, or keep them in. If storing, put the grapes in a sealed container or freezer bag and keep them frozen.
# Notes:
01 -
Go for firm, fresh grapes—they’ll taste and look better.
02 -
The coating can get sticky if left out too long, so serve cold.
03 -
Try sugar-free Jell-O if you want fewer calories.
04 -
These frozen treats last up to two weeks in the freezer.
05 -
For parties, separate colors into bowls or line them up like a rainbow.
