Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients:
- 1 pound (453.6 grams) grapes (green, red, or mixed)
- 1 cup (236.6 milliliters) water
- Toothpicks
Jell-O Flavors:
- 1 box raspberry Jell-O
- 1 box berry blue Jell-O
- 1 box orange Jell-O
- 1 box lime Jell-O
- 1 box lemon Jell-O
- 1 box grape Jell-O
Optional Flavor Enhancers:
- Tajin seasoning
- Chili powder
Instructions
- Meticulously select firm, unblemished grapes and gently detach from stems, ensuring no moisture remains after thorough cleansing with paper towels.
- Establish a workstation with a small water bowl and separate Jell-O flavor containers, positioning them strategically for efficient coating.
- Prepare a parchment-lined baking sheet that comfortably fits inside your freezer, creating a smooth surface for grape placement.
- Pierce each grape carefully with a toothpick, creating a convenient handle for seamless coating and handling.
- Quickly dip grape into water, allowing minimal moisture to cling to surface, then immediately roll in selected Jell-O powder, ensuring complete and even coverage while shaking off excess powder.
- Arrange coated grapes on prepared baking sheet, maintaining sufficient spacing to prevent unwanted contact and potential sticking.
- For adventurous palates, sprinkle select grapes with Tajin or chili powder immediately after Jell-O coating to enhance flavor complexity.
- Transfer baking sheet to freezer, allowing grapes to solidify for approximately 1 hour at 0°F until completely frozen.
- Once frozen, remove toothpicks if desired, and consume immediately or transfer to airtight container for future enjoyment, maintaining freezer storage.
Notes
- Choose seedless grapes for the smoothest texture and easiest eating experience.
- Pat grapes completely dry with paper towels to ensure Jell-O powder sticks perfectly without clumping.
- Try different Jell-O flavors to create a vibrant, colorful snack that kids and adults will love.
- For a healthier twist, use sugar-free Jell-O to reduce overall sugar content while maintaining delicious flavor.
