1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup colored sugar or flavored gelatin powder (optional)
Instructions
1. Rinse grapes under cold water and remove them from stems.
2. Pat the grapes completely dry using a paper towel.
3. Toss grapes lightly with lemon juice or water in a bowl until just tacky.
4. Pour sugar into a shallow dish or bowl.
5. Roll the damp grapes in sugar until fully coated.
6. Transfer grapes to a parchment-lined tray in a single layer.
7. Let them air dry for 15–20 minutes until the coating sets.

Use flavored gelatin powder for a fun twist and added color.
Chilling the grapes enhances the crunch and gives them a candy-like finish.
