Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 pounds seedless green grapes approximately one bag
  • 6 ounces Kool-Aid Mix 2-3 flavors, using one 3-ounce packet per pound of grapes

Equipment

  • Colander
  • Ziploc bags
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper

Method
 

  1. Initial Freeze: Begin by placing your green grapes in the freezer for one hour. Once chilled, remove the stems by giving them a quick twist; this process is much easier when the grapes are partially frozen.

  2. Rinse: Place the de-stemmed grapes into a colander and rinse them thoroughly with cool water.

  3. Coat with Flavor: Transfer the wet grapes into Ziploc bags, using a separate bag for each Kool-Aid flavor or color. Add the Kool-Aid mix to the bags, seal them tightly, and shake vigorously until every grape is evenly coated.

  4. Final Freeze: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and pour the coated grapes onto it in a single layer. Place the sheet back into the freezer for 24 hours. After the full day has passed, your grapes are ready to be served and enjoyed!

Notes

Do not completely dry your grapes after rinsing, as the residual moisture acts as a glue to help the Kool-Aid powder stick to the skin. It is highly recommended to use pre-sweetened Kool-Aid packets unless you specifically enjoy a very intense sweet-tart flavor profile.
