4.8 from 269 reviews

Kool Aid Grapes are a fun and flavorful snack where fresh grapes are infused with vibrant Kool Aid drink mix, creating a sweet and tangy treat that’s perfect for hot days or parties. This no-cook recipe is easy to make, requiring just a few ingredients and some time to chill and absorb the flavors.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh seedless grapes (red or green)
  • 1 packet unsweetened Kool Aid drink mix (any flavor, such as cherry, grape, or tropical punch)
  • 23 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional, depending on sweetness preference)
  • 1/2 cup cold water

Instructions

  1. Prepare the grapes: Rinse the grapes thoroughly under cold running water to clean and remove any dirt or residues. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
  2. Make the Kool Aid mixture: In a small bowl or container, combine the Kool Aid powder, granulated sugar if using, and cold water. Stir well until the powder and sugar are fully dissolved.
  3. Soak the grapes: Place the cleaned grapes into a sealable plastic bag or container. Pour the Kool Aid mixture over the grapes, ensuring they are fully submerged and evenly coated.
  4. Marinate in the fridge: Seal the bag or cover the container tightly and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight. This allows the grapes to absorb the Kool Aid flavor and develop a sweet-tart coating.
  5. Serve chilled: Remove the grapes from the fridge, drain off excess liquid, and serve the Kool Aid grapes cold as a refreshing snack.

Notes

  • You can experiment with different Kool Aid flavors to customize your grape snack.
  • Soaking time can vary from 3 hours to overnight, depending on how intense you want the flavor.
  • For a sugar-free version, omit the granulated sugar and use sugar-free Kool Aid powder.
  • The grapes will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
