Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Start by washing 30 fresh grapes under cold water, ensuring they’re free from any dirt or residue.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of granulated sugar, ½ cup of water, and ¼ cup of light corn syrup. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring gently until all the sugar dissolves.
  3. Once the mixture comes to a boil, stop stirring and divide it into three bowls for coloring, adding different gel food colorings to each.
  4. Dip each grape into one color mixture, then swirl it into the second color for a marbled effect, placing it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Allow the coated grapes to sit for 30 minutes at room temperature to harden.
  6. Once set, serve your Galaxy Candy Grapes on a colorful platter.
