Description
A fun and vibrant treat that adds a spark to any gathering with candy-coated grapes.
Ingredients
- 30 green or red grapes (washed and thoroughly dried)
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup water
- ¼ cup light corn syrup
- White gel food coloring
- Pink gel food coloring
- Blue gel food coloring
Instructions
- Insert toothpicks or small skewers into each grape and set aside on a plate.
- In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, water, and corn syrup, and heat without stirring.
- Boil undisturbed until the mixture reaches 300°F on a candy thermometer, about 10–15 minutes.
- Remove from heat and mix in white gel food coloring until combined.
- Add small dots of pink and blue gel coloring, then swirl gently with a skewer for a marbled effect.
- Dip each grape into the candy syrup and place them on a parchment-lined tray to cool.
- Wait 10–15 minutes for the candy coating to harden before serving.
Notes
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. Avoid refrigeration to prevent the candy coating from becoming sticky.
