A bowl of colorful Sour Patch Grapes coated in fruity Jell-O powder

Sour Patch Grapes – A Sweet & Tangy Candy-Like Treat


  • Author: Imili Johnson
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups green or red grapes, washed and dried
  • ¼ cup lime juice (or lemon juice for extra tartness)
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ package Jell-O powder (flavor of choice—lime, cherry, blue raspberry, etc.)

Optional Variations:

  • Use multiple flavors of Jell-O for a colorful rainbow effect. 🌈
  • Swap sugar for powdered drink mix (like Kool-Aid) for a tangier flavor.
  • Add a sprinkle of citric acid for an extra sour kick! 🍋

Instructions

Preparation:

1: Prep the Grapes

  1. Wash and thoroughly dry the grapes using a paper towel. (The coating sticks better when the grapes are dry!)
  2. Place the grapes into a large mixing bowl.

2: Coat with Lime Juice

  1. Pour the lime juice over the grapes and toss to coat.
  2. Let the grapes sit for about 2 minutes to absorb some of the tartness.

3: Mix the Sugar & Jell-O Powder

  1. In a separate bowl, mix together the sugar and Jell-O powder.
  2. If using multiple flavors, divide the grapes into separate bowls and use a different Jell-O flavor for each.

4: Coat the Grapes

  1. Sprinkle the sugar and Jell-O mixture over the grapes.
  2. Toss until the grapes are evenly coated. (For an even coating, place the grapes in a Ziploc bag, add the sugar mixture, and shake gently!)

5: Chill & Serve

  1. Spread the coated grapes onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Refrigerate for 30–60 minutes to allow the coating to set.
  3. Serve chilled and enjoy!
