Instructions: How to Make Frozen Jello Grapes

✅ Step 1: Prep the Grapes

• Remove grapes from stems
• Wash thoroughly in a colander
• Pat them dry slightly (you still want a bit of moisture to help the Jello stick)

✅ Step 2: Set Up Your Coating Station

• Pour 1 cup of water into a small bowl
• Place each Jello flavor into separate shallow dishes or paper plates

✅ Step 3: Dip and Roll

• Stick a toothpick into each grape
• Dip it quickly into the water, then roll it in your choice of Jello powder
• Place the coated grape onto a parchment-lined baking sheet
• Repeat for all grapes, grouping them by color if you like

✅ Step 4: Freeze

• Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 1 hour
• Grapes should be firm and the Jello coating should have set

Tips for Success

• Use seedless grapes for best results
• Want tang? Try granny smith grapes with lemon or lime Jello
• Store in freezer-safe bags for quick grab-and-go snacks
• Serve slightly thawed for a softer bite or frozen for a crunchy pop
• Make it a fun activity by letting kids dip their own grapes
