    ½ cup water, 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • Place each grape on a toothpick then roll and dredge through gelatin, alternating colors.

Notes

  • Make sure to fully remove the stems from the grapes. No one wants to bite into a tough stem!
  • If you plan to feed these to young children, be sure to use seedless grapes to prevent choking. You may also want to cut the grapes in half.
  • These can be frozen but that makes them very very cold and hard for little mouths. We just chill them and we are happy campers.
Storage: Store candy grapes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
