Ingredients
- 30 green or red grapes (washed and thoroughly dried)
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup water
- ¼ cup light corn syrup
- White gel food coloring
- Pink gel food coloring
- Blue gel food coloring
Instructions
- Insert toothpicks or small skewers into each grape and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, water, and corn syrup.
- Stir gently just to mix, then heat over medium-high heat without stirring further.
- Let the mixture boil for 10–15 minutes, or until it reaches 300°F on a candy thermometer.
- Once the syrup reaches 300°F, remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Immediately add white gel food coloring and stir it in completely.
- Carefully add small dots of pink and blue gel food coloring on the surface of the syrup.
- Using a skewer or toothpick, gently swirl the colors through the syrup just a little — do not fully mix.
- Dip each grape into the marbled candy syrup, turning gently to coat it.
- Let the excess drip off and place the grape on a parchment-lined tray to cool and harden.
- Allow the candy coating to harden completely (about 10–15 minutes) before serving.
- Storing:
- Place the grapes in an airtight container.
- Separate layers with parchment paper to prevent them from sticking together.
- Store in a cool, dry place at room temperature for up to 2 days.
Notes
- Allow the candy coating to harden completely (about 10–15 minutes) before serving.
