Make Leprechaun Candy Your New St. Patrick's Day Treat

This recipe is also known as sour patch grapes.

St. Patrick's Day is coming up on Sunday, March 17.

As you dye your beer green and grill up your corned beef, make something special for the kids, too!

I recently tried out this "Leprechaun Candy" recipe after seeing it on Good Morning America. It's supposed to be a healthier version of Sour Patch Kids. My husband was my guinea pig and ... the experiment was a delicious success!

Bunch of green grapes
1 package lime Jello

Wash your grapes, but keep them a little wet so the Jello powder sticks to them. Dump the Jello powder on a plate and roll the grapes in the powder. Refrigerate the grapes for a couple hours and enjoy your new, tart treat (try saying that three times fast)!
