Description
This Galaxy Candy Grape Recipe turns ordinary grapes into sparkling, candy-coated bites that shimmer like the night sky. With juicy grapes, candy melts, and edible glitter, this easy homemade candy is perfect for birthdays, parties, or festive dessert tables.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups seedless grapes (green, red, or mixed)
- ½ cup candy melts (purple, blue, pink, or mixed) OR crushed hard candy
- 2 tbsp corn syrup (or honey)
- 1–2 tsp edible glitter or luster dust
- Toothpicks or skewers
Instructions
- Wash and dry grapes completely. Insert a toothpick into each grape.
- Lightly brush or dip grapes in corn syrup to coat.
- Melt candy melts or crush hard candy. Roll grapes in coating until covered.
- Sprinkle with edible glitter or luster dust while sticky.
- Place grapes on parchment-lined tray and chill 15–20 minutes until set.
- Serve immediately for the best crunch and sparkle.
- ✨ Tip: Mix silver, purple, and blue glitter for the perfect galaxy look.
Notes
- Best Served Fresh: These grapes keep their crunch and sparkle for only a few hours—prepare them the same day.
- Color Options: Use purple, blue, and silver glitter for a galaxy look, or swap colors to match holidays and themes.
- Sweetener Swap: Corn syrup works best, but honey or agave can be used for a natural touch.
- Make-Ahead: Prepare in the morning for an evening event, but avoid airtight containers—humidity melts the coating.
