Frozen Candied Jello Grapes Ingredients
Equipment you’ll need:
- Toothpicks: Toothpicks will help you dip them in the jello mix in a more sanitary and mess-free way.
- Parchment paper: Lining your freeze tray, baking sheet, or kitchen plate with parchment paper will help them not stick, creating a better experience.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb grapes: Fresh, firm grapes will hold up better during freezing. Any variety will do, but seedless grapes are better in this case. I prefer green grapes, but it is entirely up to you! Red grapes are another great option.
- 1 box raspberry jello: This slightly tart red jiggly jello will resemble rubies. If you do not like raspberries, you can switch to strawberry jello. Any flavored red jello will do!
- 1 box berry blue jello: A hit of berry flavor will surprisingly enhance the delicious grape taste and give the grapes a jewel-like appearance. It will make your jello creations so beautiful!
- 1 box orange jello: The citrusy tang will make every single one of your tastebuds pop, and the flavors will be so refreshing! Somehow, this flavor combo makes them taste even more juicy!
- 1 box lime jello: The lime flavor mixed with the grapes complements one another. Plus, it is a little sour but still sweet. The mixture is perfect together.
- 1 box lemon jello: Tart lemon! These are a personal family favorite because they aren’t too sugary! The combination of sweet and zang is top-notch. Plus, they are bright and sunny, adding to that summer appeal.
- 1 box grape jello: While it may seem silly to add grape jello to grapes, it really enhances the flavor and adds a level of sweetness. It’s the perfect choice for grape lovers!
