Fun Frozen Jello Grapes
This jello with grapes recipe is going to be a new go-to in your house, I just know it. Frozen Jello Grapes, sometimes also called candy grapes, are a fun and delicious snack.

Ingredients for Frozen Jello Grapes
You’ll only need two simple ingredients to make these frozen Jello grapes!
- 1 (0.6-ounce) box sugar-free Jello
- 2 cups grapes of your choice
That’s it!
One of the things I love most about this recipe is how many different flavor combinations you can make. There are so many Jello flavors to choose from, so it’s easy to switch things up depending on the season, holiday, or just what your family likes best.
Jello brand offers several sugar-free flavors, but if you use one of the brighter red varieties, just know they can stain little fingers a bit.
My go-to is Simply Mixes because it’s both sugar-free and dye-free. We don’t use food dyes in our house because of the possible effects they can have on behavior. If you’re curious about why we avoid them, be sure to check out this post.
Simply Mixes also has several fun flavors to choose from, which makes this recipe even more customizable.
Once you’ve picked your Jello flavor, it’s time to choose your grapes! Green, red, or purple grapes all work great.
And have you ever tried cotton candy grapes? They really do taste like cotton candy! I think coating those in Jello would make such a fun treat, especially for kids.

How To Make Fun Frozen Jello Grapes
How to Make Frozen Jello Grapes
Now that you know all the different flavor combinations you can make, it’s time to put these yummy Jello grapes together!
And honestly, they’re almost too easy to call a recipe. They’re that simple! But if you’ve never made Jello grapes before, don’t worry-I’ll walk you through it.
Step 1: Remove the Grapes
Take the grapes off the stems and discard any that are bruised or soft.
Step 2: Wash the Grapes
Wash the grapes thoroughly. See my fruit wash below.
Don’t dry them completely! You want them to stay a little damp because that moisture is what helps the Jello powder stick to the grapes.
How I Wash My Fruit
I like to give my fruit a good wash before eating it, and this is the simple method I use.
- Mix 1 part vinegar with 3 parts water in a large bowl.
- Place the grapes into the bowl.
- Let them soak for about 5 minutes.
- Transfer the grapes to a colander and rinse well with fresh water.
Now your grapes are clean and ready to go!
Step 3: Coat the Grapes
After washing your grapes, leave them slightly wet and place them into a large zip-top bag. The moisture helps the Jello powder stick to the grapes.
Pour the Jello powder into the bag, seal it, and shake everything around until the grapes are evenly coated.
Step 4: Freeze
Remove the grapes from the bag and place them on a plate, tray, or cookie sheet in a single layer. Pop them into the freezer and let them freeze until firm.
Then enjoy!
If you prefer, you can store them in the refrigerator instead. The Jello coating doesn’t stick quite as well this way, but they’re still delicious.
PIN THIS FOR LATER!
Another Fun Way to Make Candied Grapes
Instead of using a bag, you can also roll the grapes around in the Jello powder one at a time.
My kids actually love helping make them this way, especially sneaking a little extra Jello off their fingers. It takes a bit longer and can get a little messier, but it coats the grapes really evenly and makes a fun kitchen activity for kids.
