Description
Kool-Aid Grapes are a fun and colorful snack where fresh seedless grapes are coated with a sweet and tangy mixture of Kool-Aid powder and sugar.

Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 1–2 pounds seedless green grapes
Coating
- 3–5 packets unsweetened Kool-Aid (different flavors/colors)
- 1 cup granulated sugar (plus more if needed for extra coating)
Miscellaneous
- 1 cup water (for rinsing)
Instructions
- Rinse and dry the grapes: Remove grapes from the stems and rinse them thoroughly under cold water. Lay them on a paper towel to dry so they are slightly damp but not soaking, which helps the Kool-Aid mixture stick properly.
- Set up your flavor station: In small bowls, mix one Kool-Aid packet with about 2–3 tablespoons of sugar each. Stir well until combined. Prepare one bowl per flavor to create colorful coatings.
- Dip and roll: Using a toothpick or skewer to avoid mess, dip a slightly damp grape into the Kool-Aid and sugar mixture, rolling it until fully coated. Transfer coated grapes onto a parchment-lined tray or plate.
- Chill until set: Refrigerate the coated grapes for at least 1 hour to allow the coating to set and develop a slightly crisp texture.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve the Kool-Aid Grapes chilled for best texture and flavor. These colorful grapes make an appealing snack for kids’ parties, holidays, or anytime fun snacking.
Notes
- Using slightly damp grapes helps the Kool-Aid mixture adhere better.
- Experiment with different Kool-Aid flavors to create a variety of colorful coatings.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking while chilling.
- Adjust the sugar amount if you want a sweeter or more intense coating.
- For less mess, use toothpicks or skewers when dipping grapes.
