Thank you all for getting me to 86k views!! You are GREATLY appreciated. Keep watching and sharing this tutorial 💙🙏🏽
I will be trying this in the morning! I have been on a kick getting these from a lady about an hour from me, I'm trying to save on driving to her! The only thing she does different is she rolls the grapes in candy while they are still wet from the mixture. She does pop rocks, nerds, jolly ranchers, Lemonheads, and many other things! Maybe this is something you could use in the future for your customers🖤 They're yummy! I can't wait to try this
Thank you for the suggestion. I'll have to try it out! Good luck with doing them yourself 🤗. Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks great tutorial and your baby is so darn cute. She stood there so quietly too sweet
Thank you for watching and thank you so much! 💗
LOL!!! The fake texting took me out! My grandmother use to pop me when I was in the kitchen wanting to touch stuff. THEN I got an Easy Baks oven, and didn’t care what she was cooking! 😩
Lol! That's too funny 🤣. Thanks for watching!
Lmao omg I died when started fake txting , I was like who she txting back like that ! 😂😂😂😂 too funny !
I'm working on more grape videos! Does anyone have any other requests???
My grapes are sticky for some reason. They harden but when I touch them , they’re sticky. Do you happen to know why it does that??
@@molindsey1136 it could be your room temp or humidity in the area.
I know this is old, however that left over dip can be used as candy sprinkle the jolly ranchers and edible glitter you can call it unicorn bark or brittle lol something it wont go to waste
Lol yes you can do a lot with the left over candy! Great suggestions
Awesome tutorial! How long can you store your candies fruit and how do you store them?
Thank you for watching! ❤
I don't store these. I make them an hour or so before pickup because they don't last as long as a candy apple, for example.
Do you wash the grapes the same as apples with lemon water?
Could you possibly sprinkle the jolly rancher mixture after you dip while still drying so it might stick better? Or have an extra set of hands doing that part?
Hey Cierra! No, please don't boil your grapes. That will probably make them too soft.
Also, yes you can do that. Just have a bowl with the jolly rancher mixture next to you when you dip them.
Thanks for watching! ❤
Hello what size is your flavor? And is it better to buy that size instead of the dram?
Came here from Facebook.
Awesome! Welcome to my channel! ❤
Girrrl yess I needed this video I damn near burnt the house and my hand off when It touched me
Oh no! That candy is a different kind of pain when it touches you 🥴🤦🏽♀️. Thank you for watching!
I thank you so much for this I’m trying new things. Is the LORAN oil all the same for candy?
You're welcome! For the most part, yes they're. Most are clear & others have a darker base. It just depends on the flavor & your preference. If you don't have the lorann oil right now, but will just like to test out the process, just use a vanilla flavor until you can get Lorann's oil
I love this video, so detailed where can I get the flavoring?
Thank you for watching! You can purchase the flavoring on Amazon or at your local craft/treat supply stores
Thank you so much for the tutorial I just found your video yesterday and tried it today let’s just say you’re the best my kids are all over the grapes first try and I nailed it. Only problem was the candy was sticking to the wax paper. Overall 10 out of 10
A W E S O M E!! Thank you for letting me know how the tutorial turned out for you. Don't use wax paper. Use parchment paper.
The best one yet thank you I will go buy ingredients tomorrow and give you me feedback . Great job and your little helper was good too . God bless
Heyyy I come back to your videos all the time they are so helpful 🥳I have a question my cousin wants me to make her some candy grapes this weekend ,my work looks fine I don’t know how to keep them from cracking for like after an 1 do I let her know they might crack I’m not sure?
Hey! Thank you for watching & getting helpful info from my videos. That is so awesome to hear 😊. To answer your question, let her know. I always let my customers know that it will crack within a certain time frame.
@@meshacalhoun yes ma’am thank you so much!!🥳
@@KhilaJay you're welcome!
Looks yummy!! How do you store them? And for how long?
Thank you! I store them in plastic containers for no longer than 3hrs. I usually make them to order because they will break down within an hour.
Hi! Great video 🥰 but how do you make the jolly rancher powder ? Do we just blend some jolly ranchers? ☺️
Hello! Thank you for watching ❤️. Yes, just get at least a handful of jolly ranchers and add granulated sugar. Blend those together. I don't have exact measurements. I usually just eyeball how much of each I'll need.
Lmao, soooo we just ignore the middle finger the lil girl was sticking up. she definitely tried it while her mama wasn't watching
Lmao yeah just ignore that part. Thanks for watching!
Great video! How long do they last before breaking down and how do you store them?
Thank you! They last for about an hour before they start to break down. You can still eat them, but they may not be fully coated.
Keep them in a cool, dry place. Moisture will speed up the break down process.
Loveee this.. how can i keep my candy from being sticky?? When I touched my grapes, it was very sticky
Thank you! Do you place your grapes in the refrigerator or freezer? I notice that they are very sticky after that.
I was just wondering if we don't have flavoring can we melt a jolly rancher for flavor inside the candy mix ?
Great question. I've never tried it. I'm not sure if the jolly rancher would be completely melted by the time the mixture is ready for you to dip 🤔. Do you have vanilla extract? That can be used as well.
Wait! The coating process! I watched this whole video to see how you dipped the grapes in the candy once you poured it! 😭😭😭
I hope this video helped you! Are you now confident in dipping your grapes?
Hey thanks so much for the video do you have to freeze the grapes?
You're welcome! I've heard of people freezing them, but I've never tried it.
How long in advance should these be made if their being made for a customer? Does the grape leak at all?
I make them about an hr prior to the pickup time.
Loveee this video. What do you do with he leftover candy? Can it be re heated and used again?
Thank you so much for watching! ❤
I usually throw it away or once it's cooled, I break it up & just eat it as pieces of candy. It can't be reused again.
Oh ok thank you so much
@@Motivational-thoughts901 you're so welcome
Hi, I’m wanting to know once I cup my grapes and put them in the fridge, how can I keep them from melting in the bottom of the cup? Do I need to let the grapes sit out longer before putting them in the cups? I keep having this problem
Hey Kristina! To me, putting them in the fridge breaks them down even faster. Mainly because of the moisture. Candy grapes aren't meant to last long anyways. I give it a max 2hrs before a sign of breakdown begins.
Mesha Calhoun Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
How did you do the jolly ranchers and sugar mixture?
I blended them together to make the mixture
Hey cutie gave us a low key middle finger! My kids both used to use their middle fingers to point with and to do everything that other people use our trigger fingers to do things with
🥴😅 yes, I've watched it & shake my head every time I see it. I know it was unintentional on her behalf, but us as an adults know what it mean lmao
@@meshacalhoun she’s cute and innocent! I enjoyed seeing it again tbh. It reminded me of two decades ago when my kids did it unintentionally as well 💜💜💜
@@johkaTV thank you so much for watching it. I appreciate you & delighted that it brought back nostalgic memories 😊
lmaoooo “hurry up & mix it quick”
🤣🤣🤣
What do you use to get them candied ? & mines are still sticky after a couple minutes of placing them on paper
Hey. Are you following the recipe I used in the video? Your grapes shouldn't be sticky after you dip & let them cool. Check your temp in your house. If it's too warm, that could cause them to be sticky as well.
@@meshacalhoun Ok thank you
@@THEREALTB you're welcome!
How does this work with other fruits? Do peaches/strawberries/pineapples break down as fast as grapes?
You can dip them but the break down process with the fruit you mentioned is faster than the grapes. The key to slowing down the breakdown is patting those fruit dry. They will still breakdown eventually because they're naturally perspiring fruit. The moisture is what causes the breakdown.
@@meshacalhoun very informative! Thank you for your reply!
@@siamsoup9071 you're welcome! Anytime 😊. Thank you for watching!
What causes your candy on your dipped grapes to melt off so fast?
The texture of the grapes causes the candy to melt fast. Plus your room temp also plays a part as well.
Where did you get the green apple flavor and what’s the brand?
It's a loran oil that I purchased from amazon
After watching your tutorial I tried doing it on my own and everything came out fine. The only issue I seem to keep coming across is the mixture doesn’t harden after coating the grapes. What could it be that’s preventing it from doing so ?
It could be your thermometer is off. If so, let your thermometer go to 305 degrees just to be sure it at least reaches 300 degrees. If that's not it, try getting a new thermometer. Your mixture should have a hard crack.
Is there a certain thermometer you would suggest
@@daisaaaaa9473 is there a Kroger near where you leave?
I’m from New york so unfortunately no 😒. The closet to Kroger is target and Walmart lol
@@daisaaaaa9473 lol ok. Try Amazon. Let me see if I can find a link to one on there
How did you get the jolly rancher’s crushed like that?
I put them in a blender
Hi I have a couple questions when doing half recipe do the candy harder faster and when you finish do you put in refrigerator or freezer until customer pick them up?
Hello!
1. No the mixture doesn't harden faster when using half the mixture.
2. I do not place them in neither the refrigerator nor the freezer. I make the the day of
This was my first time doing half mixture maybe I waited to long to start dipping thank you
@@michellesmith2140that's possible. What temp do you allow your mixture to go to?
300 degrees for
@@michellesmith2140 ok. Stay in between 300-305. Be sure you reach the hard crack temp or your mixture may seize up quickly.
How do you keep them from "melting/running"? Please and thank you sis.
Unfortunately, they will melt/run. Which is why I dip mine very close to pickup times. However, I do state that grapes usually last for an hour before the first sign of breakdown in the candy. This covers me, & gives the customer an expectation of how long they have to eat them before the breakdown begins.
@@meshacalhoun dang sis, 1 hour!? No wonder. Good thing I did a test bunch. These wouldn't be good to sell from my truck. No time to keep making them. This sucks, wonder how they keep candied apples from melting.. I'm deflated. Thank you much girl.
@@kniik-knaak lol yes. Unfortunately these do not last long. I wouldn't recommend to add as an everyday menu item. I have it as a seasonal item & I only post when available. They're too time consuming for the amount of time they last. I also have a candy apple cleaning & how to make them tutorial here on CZcams. Apples last longer than grapes because of the texture of both fruit. The sugar mixture sticks better to apples than grapes. You can make those well in advance versus grapes.
This is literally me and my son in the kitchen every time I try to record videos for content 😂
🤣🤣🤣 kids are so funny. Do you have a CZcams channel?
Currently working on it, but right now I just post of FB, TikTok and I.G.
How do you clean your grapes to get that wax off if you don’t recommend boiling?
I soak them in water with baking soda
Where do you get the green apple 🍏 flavoring from?
I get it from Amazon or my local treat supply store.
Hi ! So I tried this for the first time and everything turned out great butttttt my corn syrup/candy dip , hardened so fast 😭😭 maybe I was going too slow ? Lol
😭😭😭 that's the worst! But yes, move fast or the mixture will harden up quick
I need some help desperately. I’ve tried making the candy grapes. Couple times I’ve come out really good and some of the times the candy starts to separate off the grapes. I cook it to 310° and it is crunchy. Do you know why it does this
Hello! I can help as best as I can. Have you watched the tutorial yet? I share a few techniques that I personally use. The grapes will break down regardless of your technique. They only last for a few hours before breaking down.
I loved the tutorial , when I took my pot off the stove to start dipping , my mixture started to harden after a few minutes…. when you have a big order how do you prevent that from happening ??!
Thank you so much! Did you wait a long time before starting to dip? What color food coloring did you use?
@@meshacalhoun I used the Wilton food coloring!
@@courtneydequana not the brand, but the actual color. Some colors seize up quicker like red & some blues.
@@meshacalhoun I used yellow
@@courtneydequana hmm, that doesn't usually get hard as fast. Once the mixture reaches the correct temp, stir it and be sure to get the sides of your pot. When it stops bubbling, start dipping asap.
So where do you get your flavoring from?
I get them from Amazon, hobby lobby, or a local bakery supply store
HOWD YOU DIP THEMMMMM?! Once you pour it out it gets cooled quick and becomes undippable so how???
Sorry I'm just now seeing this comment. Go back to watch the video. I dip them in the video before I poured the mixture out.
How do you keep the grapes from melting .. during delivery
I tell all customers that there will be signs of candy breakdown regardless. I also give a 1hr window for pickup. They're going to melt regardless.
When I make mines after u leave it in the fridge u bite into it . It comes very hard and sticky and hard to chew. It has the crack sound but it’s hard to chew after
Are you making these for yourself or customers? How long are you leaving them in the refrigerator before eating them?
Did they go in fridge or freezer to cook please?
I personally don't put them in neither the fridge nor freezer.
More grape videos lol
Lol! I got you
When I make mines I let them cool off then I put them in a container with a lid and I put them in the icebox will when I take them out half of them are cracked how do I make the grapes without them cracking
They will always crack. There's nothing you can do about that. The rule of thumb; the more moisture, the quicker they will break down, aka crack.
I’m struggling with them sticking to each other when I put them in the jar
Are you letting them cool before you place them in something?
It’s baby girl for me!! 😂🥰 if you make a big order how do you store them...or do you have to make fresh ones everyday?
🤣🤣🤣 I don't store them. I make them fresh
And thank you so much for watching. She's a hilarious! 🤦🏽♀️🤣
Were do you purchase your containers
I purchase them from a local store called LIT.
Y’all should make slime so she can be move involved
Cool. Thanks for the suggestion!
She is beautiful
Thank you
@@meshacalhoun thank you for the video amazing tutorial never even knew that you could dip the grapes.
@@gl564 you're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed my tutorial 😊
Where did you get the container from
I purchased them from a local store called LIT
What kind of sugar do you add to blended jolly ranchers?
Just regular granulated sugar
How much sugar did you add to the jolly rancher mixture? Did you add it before or after blending?
@@kimberlybooth9733 I'm not sure on the exact measurements. I eyeballed it just to make it somewhat of a powder like substance. I add it while blending
@@meshacalhoun thank you! Making some today!
@@kimberlybooth9733 you're welcome! Let me know how they turn out! 🤗
Hey where do you get the containers for the grapes ?
Hey, where are you located? There is a store where I am that sells restaurant supplies
@@meshacalhoun Memphis tn
@@user-pq2mn7ec7x ok cool. Go to LIT. That's where I get the containers from
I don’t know when you’ll see this but when I make mine as they’re setting the mixture slides off and all the candy is on the bottom😩😩. Do you have any tips?
Oh no! How do you clean your grapes?
I usually just rinse them off in the sink and then I’ll dry them with a paper towel.
@@faithjones2840 ok. They may still have wax on them when you dip your grapes. Try sprinkling some baking soda on them to remove the wax. Let it soak in some water, then rinse off & pat to dry
@@meshacalhoun I will try that, thank you so much!
@@faithjones2840 you're welcome!
How do you keep grapes from melting?
Unfortunately you can't. They will always melt eventually.
how do you prevent the candy dissolving before customers pick up? i normally do mine the night before
You can't. These are not items that you can do well in advance. I usually dip an 1hr or so before pickup. If you do them overnight, they will break down & there's really nothing you can do to prevent that. Mainly because the texture of the grapes are so smooth so the sugar has nothing to hold on to in comparison to a candy apple.
How do you get it to not melt ? I have a problem with my taffy melting off the grapes
Hey they will always melt at some point or another. They typically last for an hour after dipping.
