A candied grape is a fresh grape that’s been dipped in a homemade candy syrup and then allowed to harden into a glossy, crunchy shell. The result is a sweet, crisp outer coating with a juicy, fresh grape inside. The word “crack” comes from the cracks in the candy that sometimes occur when the grape expands after being placed in the freezer to maintain freshness.
What’s the difference in candied grapes and powdered grapes?
The candied grapes have a crunchy outer shell of candy, while the powdered grapes are simply covered in a homemade candy powder mixture (think of a powdered donut).
