A fun and unique dessert that combines the sweet flavor of cotton candy with crunchy grapes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups white granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- Crushed hard candies (like Jolly Ranchers)
- Green grapes
- Pink food coloring (optional)

Instructions
- Prep the grapes by thoroughly drying them and skewering each grape with a bamboo stick.
