# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They're frozen candy that's actually good for you, no guilt required.
  • Takes five minutes of prep and then the freezer does all the work while you forget about them.
  • Perfect for sneaking a healthy treat without your brain realizing it's not dessert.
02 -
  • Wet grapes will freeze with an icy shell that's less pleasant; the dry-first rule is non-negotiable and makes all the difference.
  • Freezing them on the baking sheet first keeps them from fusing into a single frozen block, which I learned the hard way the first time.
03 -
  • Freeze them on the baking sheet first, uncovered, then transfer to storage once solid—this prevents them from becoming one frozen grape block.
  • The moment right when they're just past slushy but not quite fully hard is when they're most dangerously delicious.
