Frozen Candy Grapes with Jell-O (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Base Ingredients

01 - 1 pound grapes (green, red, or mixed)
02 - 1 cup water
03 - Toothpicks

→ Jell-O Flavors (Choose 2-3 or use all)

04 - 1 box raspberry Jell-O
05 - 1 box berry blue Jell-O
06 - 1 box orange Jell-O
07 - 1 box lime Jell-O
08 - 1 box lemon Jell-O
09 - 1 box grape Jell-O

→ Optional Flavor Enhancers

10 - Tajín seasoning
11 - Chili powder

# Instructions:

01 - Remove the grapes from their stems. Wash them thoroughly and pat completely dry with paper towels. It's important that the grapes are completely dry for the Jell-O powder to adhere properly.
02 - Pour 1 cup of water into a small bowl. Pour each Jell-O flavor into separate small dishes or plates. Arrange them in a line for an efficient coating process.
03 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the grapes from sticking when frozen. Make sure the baking sheet will fit in your freezer.
04 - Insert a toothpick into each grape. This will make the coating process easier and cleaner, allowing you to handle the grape without touching it directly.
05 - Dip a grape with the toothpick into the water very briefly - just enough to moisten the surface. Then immediately roll it in your chosen Jell-O powder until the entire grape is evenly coated. Shake off any excess powder.
06 - Place the coated grape on the prepared baking sheet. Continue the process with remaining grapes, arranging them in a single layer with space between each grape to prevent sticking.
07 - For a sweet and spicy variation, lightly sprinkle some of the coated grapes with Tajín seasoning or chili powder immediately after coating with Jell-O.
08 - Place the baking sheet with coated grapes in the freezer for at least 1 hour, or until the grapes are frozen solid.
09 - Once frozen, remove the toothpicks (or leave them in for serving) and enjoy the grapes immediately. For storage, transfer the frozen grapes to an airtight container or freezer bag and keep in the freezer.

# Notes:

01 - Use fresh, firm grapes for the best texture and flavor experience.
02 - The Jell-O coating will become sticky if left at room temperature for too long, so serve directly from the freezer.
03 - Sugar-free Jell-O can be substituted for a lower-calorie treat.
04 - These frozen grapes can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
05 - For a party presentation, serve different colored grapes in separate bowls or arranged in a rainbow pattern.
