Indulge in these enchanting Pink Cotton Candied Grapes, where the whimsy of cotton candy meets the natural sweetness of fresh grapes. Perfect for parties or as a delightful treat!

Ingredients:

Green grapes, dried and skewered
2 cups white granulated sugar
½ cup water
½ cup light corn syrup
Crushed hard candies (like Jolly Ranchers)
Pink food coloring (optional)
Cotton candy flavoring (optional)

Instructions:
 Prep Grapes: Ensure grapes are thoroughly dried and skewered on bamboo sticks.
 Candy Mixture: In a large saucepan, combine sugar, water, and corn syrup. Stir in pink food coloring and cotton candy flavoring for that extra flair.
 Heat: Stir over medium-low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium-high and insert a candy thermometer.
 Hard-Crack Stage: Cook without stirring until mixture reaches 300°F (hard-crack stage), about 15-20 minutes.
 Coat Grapes: Quickly dip each grape into the candy mixture, ensuring a full coat.
 Candy Coating: Roll the coated grapes in crushed candies for extra crunch and flavor.
 Cool: Set grapes on a silicone mat to cool and harden. Enjoy the playful crackle and burst of flavors with each bite!

Safety Tips:

Handle hot syrup with care. Recommended for adults or under adult supervision.
Ensure grapes are dry for proper candy adhesion.
Best enjoyed fresh for optimal texture.
