Description
Transform ordinary grapes into a delicious, candy-coated delight with this easy recipe for Jolly Rancher Candy Grapes! A perfect treat for parties, snacks, or simply satisfying your sweet tooth.
Ingredients
2 cups of fresh grapes (green or red)
1/2 cup of Jolly Rancher hard candies (watermelon, cherry, or blue raspberry)
1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
Optional: A pinch of salt
Optional: A touch of citric acid (for extra tang)
Instructions
Prepare the Grapes: Wash and dry the grapes thoroughly. Ensure they’re completely dry so the candy coating sticks properly. If you want a firmer texture, freeze the grapes for 15-20 minutes before starting.
Unwrap the Jolly Ranchers: Take 10-12 Jolly Rancher candies and unwrap them. Place them in a microwave-safe bowl.
Melt the Candies: Add the vegetable oil to the candies. Microwave the mixture in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and fully melted.
Coat the Grapes: Dip each grape into the melted candy mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Use a toothpick or skewer for easy handling. Lay the coated grapes on parchment paper to cool and harden.
Let the Grapes Set: Allow the grapes to cool for at least 10 minutes at room temperature or 5-10 minutes in the fridge.
Notes
For variation, try using different flavored candies or substitute the vegetable oil with coconut oil for a unique twist.
You can freeze the candy grapes for a refreshing summer snack!
