Sugared Prosecco Grapes are sweet, crunchy, boozy and incredibly festive. This fun Halloween treat requires only 3 ingredients and it’s super easy to make!
These tasty Prosecco infused grapes are one of the Halloween recipes I make every single year. As much as I love candy and all the sweet Halloween desserts, having a refreshing, cool, lightly sweet and mildly boozy Halloween treat on the menu is always a good idea.
These candied grapes can also be made kid friendly by soaking them in white grape juice or apple juice instead of bubbly Prosecco. Actually they are so easy to make that you may as well make two batches – a boozy one and a virgin one – and make everyone happy!
✔️ Halloween Sugared Prosecco Grapes Ingredients
- Seedless Grapes – I like using green grapes because the sugar covers their light color a bit better.
- Prosecco – I chill the Prosecco before using it. You can use champagne or any sweet wine as well.
- Sanding Sugar and/or Sparkling Sugar – I use both types of sugars. Sparkling sugar is a bit coarse and makes the grapes look like little jewels. I used orange, black and purple
🔎 How To Make Sugared Prosecco Grapes
Making prosecco-infused candied grapes is one of the easiest Halloween recipes you will ever make. Here are the simple steps.
- Wash the grapes and remove them from the stems.
- Soak the grapes in prosecco or juice.
- After soaking, drain the grapes. Do not dry them as they need to be wet for the sugar to stick.
- Place each color of sanding or sparkling sugar on a plate.
- Roll the grapes in the sugar until they are completely coated.
- Place the candied grapes on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper and let them dry for about 5 to 10 minutes.
🔎 How Long Should I Soak The Grapes?
You can soak the grapes for as little as 30 minutes or overnight. Keep in mind that the longer you soak them, the more flavor they absorb.
🔎 What Kind of Grapes Should I use?
You can use any type of grape you like as long as they are seedless.

- Give these candied grapes an extra boozy kick by adding 1/4 cup of vodka to the Prosecco.
- For a stronger boozy and fruity taste, combine the prosecco with 1/4 cup of Apple Bourbon.
