Recipe of the Week: Glitter Grapes

This isn't technically a "recipe" but I'm going to share it anyway.

Grapes are one of my favorite fruits by far.  I like that they're not "fussy" like oranges and there's no core to get rid of once you're finished. I also love sour candy (think Sweet Tarts and Sour Patch Kids).  I don't eat the candy often for obvious reasons, but I do like it every now and again.

I stumbled across a pin on Pinterest and of course was intrigued.

The "recipe" is called Glitter Grapes or Sour Patch Grapes because they taste like Sour Patch Kids.  The original recipe I found called for green grapes and melon Kool Aid powder... yes, you read that right. Kool Aid Powder.  The thought is to use a color that is similar to the color of the grapes.




I had some red grapes in my fridge and an assortment of individual packets of Crystal Light.  I went with Raspberry Lemonade powder and the red grapes... OH MY GOODNESS. What a treat.

I think I just found a fun way to satisfy that sour/sweet craving that hits sometimes.  Try it and let me know what you think.
