First up, this sweet and refreshing summer snack only requires two ingredients. It's that simple!

You could definitely use red grapes or another variety if you prefer—maybe even cotton candy grapes if you can find them.

Start by washing your grapes and put them in a gallon bag. According to TikTok user @courty_lea, there's no need to dry the water off because the liquid is what helps the Jell-O powder stick to the grapes. Sprinkle the box of Jell-O powder into the bag, zip it up and shake, shake, shake.
Once your grapes are fully covered with the mix, put them in the freezer to pull out and enjoy when the heat of the day hits!
This is also a go-to summer snack for WW members like @ww.amberleigh on Instagram. Using sugar-free Jell-O means this is a 0 point snack!

If passed, the bill would complicate the logistics that enable some Georgians to vote. Some Democratic figures in government have stated that the bill is unjust and even racist.
