Kool‑Aid Grapes 

Kool‑Aid Grapes are a playful, colorful snack that transforms simple grapes into tangy, candy‑like treats. By freezing grapes briefly and coating them in flavored Kool‑Aid powder, you get a burst of sweetness and vibrant color in every bite. They're naturally gluten‑free and vegan, making them perfect for kids, parties, or a refreshing summer snack. With just two basic ingredients, this recipe is quick, fun, and visually captivating—a great culinary twist on a classic fruit. 

Ingredients

• 2–3 lbs seedless grapes (green or red), washed
  
  

• 6 oz Kool‑Aid mix (approx. 1 3‑oz packet per pound of grapes; choose sweetened flavors)
  
  

Directions

1. Freeze grapes for 1 hour, which makes stem removal and rinsing easier. Then remove stems by twisting.
   
   

2. Place grapes in a colander and rinse with cool water—do not dry completely, as moisture helps the powder stick.
   
   

3. Divide grapes into separate Ziploc bags if using multiple Kool‑Aid flavors. Add the powder and seal. Shake gently until grapes are evenly coated. 

4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the coated grapes out in a single layer. Freeze again for 24 hours.
   
   

5. After freezing, they’re ready to enjoy. Keep stored in airtight freezer-safe containers for up to 1 month. Take them out as needed—if too hard, thaw 5–10 minutes before serving.
