Now that Christmas is right around the corner ( I can NOT believe I just typed that…), I wanted to make an extra special snack that will go wonderfully for this time of year!
I really wanted to make a snack that was not only yummy and beautiful but a touch on the healthier side as well.
Instead of grabbing a fist full of fudge or cookies, grabbing a fist full of sugared grapes makes me feel just a little better about myself.
Yes, they are sugared fruit and yes, grapes on their own are equally as delicious! Remember, everything in moderation, especially during the holidays.

How does one store these if you don’t use them all?
I have the same question about storing.
Can they be frozen?
I’ve never tried that. I think they probably could, if you placed them on a sheet tray in a single layer not touching. But, if you tried to thaw them there would probably be an issue. But, if you left them frozen to add to drinks or something like that I think it would be fine.
How far ahead could these be made? (day before?) Of course I’m talking about making them today for dinner tomorrow : ) Merry Christmas!
I have read that sugared fruit can be left in a cool, dry place for up to two days. Any humidity can melt the sugar. However, I have not tried this, they were gobbled up super fast each time I have made them. Merry Christmas back!!
Can u dip with them stem still on them ?
I have never tried but I don’t see why not, I bet that will be beautiful!
May I assume that you should wait a bit for the sugar water to cool?
Can you add kool-aid . For the color and taste
Yes!
