This was awful. Because there was no water, the gelatin was super concentrated. The look was utterly unappealing. I found myself wondering why I thought perfectly delicious grapes needed something sweet on them. Here's my advice: take your favorite grapes, freeze them in a single layer on a cookie sheet or something like that, then eat. No cherry-ish flavored powdered sugar required.

These frosted grapes are awesome! A less messy way to make these is to pour the jello powder in a ziplock bag, and then put the water rinsed grapes in with it and just zip up the bag, tumble it a few times and lay the bag flat in the freezer.

I had to give this 5 stars for two reasons: 1) Ease of preparation 2) So delightful with very little effort Other reviews warned of the addiction yet I felt very unprepared. These were sooooo good! I was not satisfied until the bowl was empty. After rinsing and while still in the colander, I sprinkled Black Cherry gelatin directly over the grapes (just as others suggested). I'm thinking next time - after coating with gelatin - I will spread out on a baking sheet and refridgerate for several hours and then put into a decorative bowl. This way they should all have the same texture when I go to serve.

You must try these. I absolutely love this recipe. They are additive, just like everyone else has said. I have'nt even had the chance to share them with my kids yet but I know they will love them too. Thanks for a fast, easy and tasty way to serve grape. They will certainly be with me at the next potluck.

A friend suggested making these for New Years Eve and I was appalled that someone would take a nutritious grape and add sugar to them. Plus it sounded unappetizing. I was wrong. We used sugar-free off brand jello and it was still amazing. I have made these 3 times since then and even the picky eaters and fruit haters loved it. I have made them both frozen and refrigerated (I prefer refrigerated, but might try them frozen again this summer). WARNING: These are highly addictive.

I have to admit I thought this sounded a little strange BUT I also have to admit it was a BIG success and not one grape was left over on New year's! Thank you very much for sharing. I will continue to use this recipe for years to come.
