Coating Process: There are two popular methods for coating your grapes:
Bowl Method: Place a handful of grapes in a bowl, sprinkle with your candy powder, and gently toss until evenly coated. This method is great for a lighter, more evenly distributed coating.
Bag Method: For a more hands-on approach, place the grapes and candy powder in a Ziploc bag, seal it, and shake until the grapes are thoroughly coated. This method often results in a more robust flavor.
Setting the Grapes (Optional)
Chill or Freeze: While you can enjoy your candy grapes immediately, some prefer them chilled or slightly frozen for an extra crisp texture. To do this, spread the coated grapes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and place them in the refrigerator or freezer until they reach your desired temperature.
