Ingredients

  • 20 Green grapes
  • 1 bag Jolly Ranchers at least 30 pieces total

Alternative ingredients & method:

  • 3 Fruit by the foot fruit snacks
  • 10 Jolly ranchers crushed

Instructions

  • Place the clean and dried green grapes flat on a parchment paper lined baking sheet, and freeze for at least 30 minutes.
  • Remove the grapes from the freezer. Stick a skewer or a toothpick into the end of each grape. 
  • Add at least 10-15 Jolly Ranchers into a high speed blender and blend them until a candy powder is formed. Pour the crushed candy into a shallow dish or bowl. Now you have to move quickly! The melted candy hardens quickly! 
  • Place your desired color of jolly ranchers into a microwave safe bowl, and microwave on high for 20-30 seconds, or until candy is melted. 
  • Carefully remove the melted candy from the microwave. Dip the grapes one at a time into the candy until it is fully coated.
  • Now roll the candied grape around in the crushed jolly ranchers, in place it on a clean piece of parchment paper to harden.
  • Repeat these steps until all of the candy grapes are made. 
  • Eat them right away, or store them in a Ziploc bag or container in the freezer. 
  • Pro-tip: if the melted jolly ranchers begin to get too hard, just place the bowl back in the microwave for 10 seconds to re-melt it. 

Alternative method:

  • Wrap each grape with a piece of fruit by the foot. Then roll the wrapped grape around in the crushed jolly ranchers until they are fully coated.
