If you are following any of the Weight plans and are looking for a zero point snack that hits the spot when you’re craving candy, then look no further than these zero point Jello Grapes!
They are zero Points on the new W-W Personal Points plan, making them a perfect low Point snack whatever your Personal Point allocation may be.
If you still follow the old Weight plan, then a portion of these candied grapes are zero SmartPoints on myW-W- Green plan, myW-W Blue plan and myW-W Purple plan!
For years now, I have heard people talking about these Jell-o coated grapes.
If you go along to W-W workshops or hang out on the W-W forums on social media my betting is that you have heard of them too.
But it wasn’t until this year that I actually started to make them myself and oh my goodness what took me so long!
They really hit the spot when you are craving something sweet!
I have tried them with different flavours of jello powder and different varieties of grapes and I am still experimenting.
My favourite has to be cotton candy grapes with lime flavoured Jell-o!
I suggest that you experiment yourself to find your own perfect combination.
HOW MANY POINTS PER PORTION?
If you still follow any of the old W-W plans:
- myW-W Green plan – 0 SmartPoints per portion
- myW-W Blue plan – 0 SmartPoints per portion
- myW-W Purple plan – 0 SmartPoints per portion
- Freestyle plan – 0 SmartPoints per portion
A portion of these jello grapes equates to approx half a cup (50g) of grapes and works out at under 40 calories!
Strictly speaking you could actually eat the whole lot (4 portions) for Zero Points but I wouldn’t suggest it!
Read the bit about artificial sweeteners below to see why 😀

HOW TO MAKE THEM?
- To see the quantities I used scroll on down to the recipe card below.
- Rinse the grapes in a colander. Don’t dry the grapes after rinsing – you want them to be damp so that the Jell-o powder sticks to them
- Empty the sachet of Jell-o powder into a small bowl.
- I find that rolling the grapes in the powder one by one (picture 2) gives the best Jell-o coverage.
- I have also tried placing the grapes in a bowl ( & a ziplock bag) and tossing them with the powder. However, I was left with little clumps of Jell-o falling off the grapes, parts of the grapes are left uncovered and other parts had lots of powder attached making them too tart.
- If you don’t want to use your fingers then you can poke a cocktail stick into the end of the grape and use it to roll the grape round in the Jell-o powder.
- Place the jell-o covered grapes in a single layer in a refrigerator safe container.
- Chill for at least an hour
- After chilling, remove and eat as you would candy!
WHAT ABOUT STORING THEM?
After placing in the refrigerator for an hour or so, the Jell-o Grapes are ready to eat.
They will stay good in the refrigerator for a couple of days.
I tend to make a batch of Jell-o Grapes and place them in a freezer friendly container.
I put them in the freezer and snack on them over a week or so.
You can eat them straight from the freezer (still frozen) or you can let them thaw for a few minutes before eating.
I LOVE eating them frozen 😀
A FEW WORDS ABOUT ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS!
The sugar free Jell-o powder (or Sugar Free Hartley’s Jelly if you are in the UK) is made with artificial sweeteners to give it a sweet taste.
These artificial sweeteners have far fewer calories than sugar (& on the whole don’t cause tooth decay) but they do have their disadvantages.
Jello Grapes | Weight Watchers
Ingredients
- 2 cups of grapes approx 200g
- 1 x 0.3oz sachet sugar free flavoured jell-o gelatin / 1 x 11.5g sachet sugar free Hartley’s jelly
- Water
Instructions
-
Rinse the grapes in a colander – do not allow to dry – the grapes still need to be wet
-
Tip the sugar free flavoured jell-o gelatin into a small bowl.
-
Dip the grapes one by one into the powder, rolling them around so that they are evenly covered with the mixture.
-
If the grapes start to dry out, you can rinse them again. I wouldn’t suggest keeping them in water as I find that they become too wet and the powder tends to clump together.
-
Place the gelatin covered grapes in a single layer in a refrigerator / freezer friendly container.
-
Either place the grapes into the refrigerator for an hour or so (until the jell-o powder hardens to the grapes) or place in the freezer and freeze.
-
Remove from the refrigerator and eat chilled OR
-
Remove from the freezer once frozen and eat like that.
