Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (about 450g) seedless green grapes, washed and thoroughly dried
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) light corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) water
  • Food coloring gels (blue, purple, white, black)
  • Edible glitter or luster dust (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon citric acid or a few drops of lemon juice (optional, for tanginess)
  • Toothpicks or skewers (for dipping)
  • Nonstick cooking spray or parchment paper

Instructions

  1. Wash and thoroughly dry the grapes. Insert toothpicks or skewers into the stem end of each grape and set aside.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Prepare small bowls with your chosen food coloring gels. Have edible glitter or luster dust ready if using.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine granulated sugar, light corn syrup, and water. Stir gently to combine. Place over medium heat and bring to a boil, swirling occasionally but not stirring, until the mixture reaches 300°F (hard crack stage), about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Once the syrup reaches temperature, remove from heat. Quickly add citric acid or lemon juice if using. Divide the syrup into the color bowls and swirl in food coloring gels with toothpicks. Do not overmix.
  5. Holding a grape by its skewer, dip and roll it in the glaze, gently swirling to pick up different colors. Let excess drip off, then immediately sprinkle with edible glitter or luster dust if desired. Place on the lined baking sheet to set.
  6. Allow the grapes to cool and harden at room temperature for about 5 minutes.
  7. Once set, gently twist out the toothpicks or skewers, or leave them in for serving.

Notes

Work quickly as the candy glaze sets fast. Use firm, dry grapes for best results. If the syrup thickens, gently rewarm. For a vegan version, ensure food coloring and glitter are plant-based. Store in a single layer in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature. Humidity may cause the glaze to become sticky.
