Have you been scrolling through TikTok and seen people raving about these magical “Sour Patch Grapes”?
Well, the hype is real, and the best part?
They’re surprisingly easy to make!
Forget sugary candies – these grapes offer a delicious twist that’s perfect for satisfying your sweet and sour cravings.
Plus, they’re a fun and healthy snack option, especially when compared to the classic Sour Patch Kids.
What You’ll Need:
- Grapes (Green cotton candy grapes are recommended, but any type will work!)
- Lemon
- Monk fruit sweetener (or cane sugar, if preferred)
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper (optional)
Here’s the Easy How-To:
- Grape Prep: Wash your grapes thoroughly and pat them dry.
- Gettin’ Sour: Cut your lemon in half and squeeze the juice onto the grapes in a large bowl.
- Sweeten Up: Now comes the fun part! Add your monk fruit sweetener or cane sugar to the bowl. If you prefer a more intense coating, you can individually dip each grape in the sweetener after coating them in lemon juice.
- Freeze and Enjoy! Line your baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup (optional). Transfer the juicy, sugary grapes to the sheet and pop them in the freezer for a few hours, or even overnight.
Voila! Your very own Sour Patch Grapes are ready to be devoured!
Tips and Tricks:
- Flavor Frenzy: Want to experiment with different flavors? Try using lime juice instead of lemon, or add a sprinkle of Kool-Aid powder for a pop of color and extra tang.
- Freeze Factor: Freezing the grapes intensifies the sour and sweet flavors, and gives them a delightful chewy texture. However, you can enjoy them unfrozen too!
So ditch the store-bought candies and whip up a batch of these viral Sour Patch Grapes. They’re a fun and healthy snack that’s perfect for kids and adults alike!
