How To Make Nerd Cluster Candied Grapes / Easy & Simple / Small Business

Welcome viewers and introduce the recipe for candied grape nerds.

Mention the need for containers if selling the grapes, bought from Amazon.

List the ingredients: 3.5 cups sugar, 1 cup water, 1 cup Karo syrup, and metallic red food coloring.

In a saucepan, combine 3.5 cups sugar, 1 cup water, and 1 cup Karo syrup, mixing well until the mixture is thick.

Turn on the heat and boil the mixture until it reaches 300 degrees Fahrenheit, using a meat thermometer to check the temperature.

Use a cup of water and a brush to wipe down the sides of the pan to prevent crystallization.

Continue boiling the mixture, noting that it will linger around 240-230 degrees for a while before reaching 300 degrees.

Once at 300 degrees, turn off the heat and let the mixture cool until it reaches 300 degrees before adding food coloring.

Add 1 tablespoon of metallic red food coloring to the cooled mixture and stir carefully, noting the heat of the mixture.

Prepare the grapes by pre-washing them and inserting a toothpick into each grape for dipping.

Dip each grape into the candy mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then place the dipped grape into a cup of ice water to harden quickly.

Reheat the candy mixture if necessary to maintain a good dipping consistency.

Dip the tip of each grape into the candy mixture again to coat it before rolling it in Nerds clusters.

Place the coated grapes onto a tray lined with sour worms and sprinkle additional Nerds clusters on top.

Finish by removing toothpicks from the grapes before serving.
