Ingredients
- 2 pounds seedless green grapes ($5.36)
- water ($0.00)
- 3 boxes (3.4 ounces) gelatin dessert mix, any flavor ($2.49)
Instructions
- Prep the grapes. Wash the grapes thoroughly and remove all stems.

- Dip. Insert a toothpick into the bottom of a grape where the stem was. Dip the grape into the water, swirling to coat lightly.
- Coat. Roll the wet grape in the Jello powder until fully coated.
- Repeat. Slide the grape off the toothpick onto a plate and continue until all grapes are coated.
- Chill. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to set, or serve immediately.
Notes
- Kids safety: Slice grapes into halves or quarters for children under 5 to reduce choking risk.
- Handling: Use toothpicks to avoid stained fingers and keep coatings neat.
- Color control: Keep wet grapes separated by color to prevent bleeding between flavors.
- Chilling: Chilling helps the coating set but is optional.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Best enjoyed fresh.
- Freezing: Grapes can be frozen but may become mushy once thawed.
