Jello Grapes
Whether it’s a simple summer snack or a centerpiece party treat, rainbow sugared grapes are guaranteed to be a a hit with both kids and grown-ups alike!
This recipe brings back so many childhood memories for me. When I was a kid, we used to dip our fingers in Jello packets at swim meets — for “energy” I think. Oh the 80s!
I like to think that these Jello frosted grapes are a bit healthier with the addition of grapes (you could also use strawberries or another fruit of your choosing). In any case, these sure are fun to make…and eat!

Rainbow Frosted Grapes Ingredients
Only two ingredients needed — doesn’t get much easier than that!
- 1-2 lbs. green grapes
- (4) 3 oz. boxes flavored gelatin (any flavors)
How to Make Jello Grapes
Wash and rinse grapes, then leave them in a bowl filled with water.
Pour each package of dry gelatin powder into 4 bowls, keeping each color separate.
Take a grape from your bowl of water and, while the grape is still wet, roll in one color gelatin powder until thoroughly coated.
Repeat using all the grapes, varying the colors used, and lay them on a baking sheet.
Tip: Use a toothpick to hold the grapes while coloring, to keep your hands from staining.
Refrigerate grapes for 1-2 hours, or until the powdered coating hardens on the grapes.

Can these be made the night before a party and stay refrigerated?
Hi Amy,
I’m not quite sure – we are planning to make them soon for a BBQ so I can let you know. I would assume if all colors are kept separate it should be fine. If you do them before we get a chance, can you let me know how they turned out?
How did the grapes turn out? Did you make them 24 hours before? What flavors turned out best?
They turn out great! I only make them 1-2 hours beforehand for great results. My daughter loves the blue raspberry flavor but all flavors turn out great, it’s really personal preferences.
