Chill Out with Sweet Frozen Grapes & Jello Powder Treats
Introduction
Sweet Frozen Grapes & Jello Powder Treats are the ultimate summer snack: vibrant, flavorful, and wonderfully refreshing. With just two ingredients, this fuss-free recipe transforms everyday grapes into colorful, crave-worthy bites—perfect for cooling off on hot afternoons, adding flair to parties, or prepping a healthy snack the kids will actually reach for.
Why These Frozen Grapes are a Must-Try
What makes this treat a crowd-pleaser? The grapes freeze into juicy, frosty snacks with a satisfying pop, while the tangy Jello powder adds a bold burst of color and flavor. You can mix and match grape and Jello flavors, making this one of the most customizable and visually striking snacks around. Best of all, they’re naturally portion-controlled and fun to eat straight from the freezer.
Efficient Grape Prep for Best Results
Begin with firm, seedless grapes—red, green, or even a mix for extra color. Wash them thoroughly and let them dry so the Jello powder sticks. For easy prepping, consider using the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper to halve the grapes quickly and neatly (halves absorb more flavor and freeze faster). If you’re prepping grapes in bulk for a party or snack stash, this tool saves serious time!
Dusting and Freezing Your Grapes
Once your grapes are rinsed and patted dry, add them to a large zip-top bag or bowl. Sprinkle your choice of Jello powder over the grapes—this is where the magic happens! Toss them until evenly coated, making sure each grape gets a pop of color and flavor. To keep your grapes from sticking to the pan or each other, line a sheet tray with a piece of Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll before arranging the grapes in a single layer for freezing.
Perfect Storage & On-the-Go Snacking
After about 2–3 hours in the freezer, your grapes will be perfectly icy and ready to eat. For the ultimate grab-and-go snack, transfer them into Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers—they keep your treats fresh and your freezer organized. If packing for a picnic, these leak-proof containers also help minimize sticky messes.
Serving Ideas for Sweet Frozen Grapes & Jello Powder Treats

Nutritional Highlights and Portions
Frozen grapes are naturally low in calories and high in antioxidants, and even with Jello powder, each serving remains a lighter treat—about 100 calories per cup, depending on coating. One pound of grapes yields enough for 4–6 servings, making this snack perfect for sharing or meal prepping ahead.
