MyMilitarySavingsHappy March! I had big fun plans for all sorts of green foods to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, BUT, my littlest leprechaun has been sick for the past week. No good. He’s finally on the mend, so I was able to whip up a couple of easy green snacks that are perfect for St. Patty’s Day or just a quick after school snack!
Now, I’m sure like me, you’ve seen a few “sour grapes” recipes floating around. Also, maybe like me, you think to yourself, “how in the world is that even appealing?” I decided to bite the bullet as I have two sour patch loving kids and wanted to surprise them. Fingers crossed!
The recipe is really easy. You take some cleaned, still damp grapes from your colander and shake them around in lime gelatin powder. Sounds easy enough. I can’t imagine what they’ll taste like.
HEAVEN. That is what they taste like. I know, I’m just as shocked as you. My kids finally had to shoo me away from the plate because I could not stop sampling these grapes. They’re sweet and tangy and WAY WAY better than sour patch kids candy. Even my 10 year old agreed with that sentiment. If you try one single recipe, let it be this one. And let the kids help! It’s so easy! Bonus, no post-chewy-candy dentist trip necessary because hey, they’re grapes!
Of course, as my kids and I were snacking on the crazy delicious green grapes, we started throwing around some different possible flavor combinations. I had these red globe grapes so we tossed them in raspberry gelatin. Verdict? Just as amazing. You guys have got to try this awesome trick!
Use these for St. Patrick’s Day or anytime you want a fun and tasty treat!
