Rainbow Grapes- Perfect Summer Snack
Summer brings long days, warm sunshine, and endless opportunities for outdoor fun—but let’s be honest, it also brings the heat. Sticky, sweaty afternoons can make anyone crave a cool, refreshing treat that doesn’t require hours in the kitchen. That’s why I’m obsessed with this easy, colorful, and crowd-pleasing snack: Rainbow Grapes.
If you’ve never tried Rainbow Grapes, you’re in for a treat. They’re the perfect balance of sweet and refreshing—grapes coated in your favorite flavored gelatin powders and chilled to perfection. The result? A burst of fruity flavor with every bite and a fun, rainbow look that makes them as pretty as they are delicious. Whether you’re hosting a backyard barbecue, packing a picnic, or just trying to survive a hot day with kids in tow, these are a total game-changer.
What I love most is how simple they are to make. You don’t need fancy tools or complicated steps—just grapes, a few packets of flavored gelatin, and a little time in the freezer. Even better? This is one of those snacks the whole family can help make. Let the kids roll the grapes in different colors while you sip a cold drink and enjoy some fresh air.

What you’ll need
- 1-2 lbs. Green Grapes
- 4—3 oz. boxes Gelatin, any flavors
How to make Rainbow Grapes
Rinse the grapes and then leave them in a bowl of water.
Pour each package of powder gelatin into 4 bowls.
Take a grape and roll it in one of the gelatin flavors, making sure to cover completely with a thick coat. You can use a toothpick to hold the grape if you would like. Repeat using all the grapes and lay them on a baking sheet.
Finally, Refrigerate the grapes for 1-2 hours so the powdered coating hardens on the grapes.
This is a perfect & fun summer snack for kids! Best of all it will cool down the whole family during the hot summer months.
