Why you'll love this sour patch grapes recipe

  • They will satisfy any candy cravings
  • Just 2 simple ingredients - grapes and jello
  • The jello adds a sour flavor to the sweetness of the grapes

Ingredients

  • Sugar free lime jell-o.
  • Grapes

How to make Sour Patch Grapes

I have tried this with both sugar free and regular gelatin powder and it tastes the same either way. I have used different flavors of Jello, but I like lime the best as it adds the perfect tart taste to the grapes. If you use sugar free Jello and follow the Weight Watchers plan, these yummy sour patch grapes are 0 points. Score!

Now the easy steps for this treat. First wash grapesthoroughly. You will want to be sure they are plenty wet for the next step so that the gelatin mix is able to stick to them. Pour a small amount of the Jello into a separate large bowl and add a few grapes that have just been washed. Roll them around a bit or dip them and when they are covered, place them in a zip top bag. I prefer to use grapes that have already been in the fridge so that they take less time to freeze.
