6. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes or until the coating has set.
7. Once the coating is set, remove the baking sheet from the refrigerator and serve immediately. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.

• You can experiment with different flavors of gelatin to create a variety of candy grapes. For example, try using lemon or lime gelatin for a tart twist, or strawberry or raspberry gelatin for a sweeter flavor.
• If you want to add a little extra sparkle to your candy grapes, you can roll them in sugar or edible glitter after dipping them in the gelatin mixture.
• For an even more indulgent treat, you can dip the coated grapes in melted chocolate and let them cool before serving.
