@meshacalhoun 2 жыл бұрын

You can dip them but the break down process with the fruit you mentioned is faster than the grapes. The key to slowing down the breakdown is patting those fruit dry. They will still breakdown eventually because they're naturally perspiring fruit. The moisture is what causes the breakdown.

Unfortunately you can't. They will always melt eventually.

HOWD YOU DIP THEMMMMM?! Once you pour it out it gets cooled quick and becomes undippable so how???

@meshacalhoun Жыл бұрын

Sorry I'm just now seeing this comment. Go back to watch the video. I dip them in the video before I poured the mixture out.

When I make mines I let them cool off then I put them in a container with a lid and I put them in the icebox will when I take them out half of them are cracked how do I make the grapes without them cracking

@meshacalhoun 2 жыл бұрын

They will always crack. There's nothing you can do about that. The rule of thumb; the more moisture, the quicker they will break down, aka crack.

Hi, what would be a good price to sell them for?

@meshacalhoun 3 жыл бұрын

Hello, it depends on your area & how many you're selling per order. I sell mine for $5. There is usually 7-10 grapes in a container, depending on the size of the grape.

Can you us that candy that Harden up and blend it to reuse

@meshacalhoun 5 ай бұрын

Hey. Are you asking whether you can reuse the candy mixture after it hardens? If so, the answer is no. At least not for candy grapes or apples. You can eat it as candy though

@mikawarren7947 5 ай бұрын

Yea for Sprinkle toppings

@meshacalhoun 5 ай бұрын

@mikawarren7947 oh yeah. You can use it for that as well. I use jolly ranchers for the toppings, but the candy would be a good option too.
