Trader Joes Now Carries Cotton Candy Grapes & I’m OMW

Carissa Dunlap

I won’t lie: I love nothing more than healthy snacks that don’t actually taste like they’re supposed to be healthy. Cotton Candy grapes are the perfect example! Its all-natural fruit that literally tastes like something straight out of a carnival! 

You now can jump on the cotton candy grape craze even if you don’t have to own a Costco card. Delish reports that Trader Joe’s will now sell cotton candy grapes just in time for the summer. The sugary-sweet grapes will only be in the store for a limited time and for two pounds, they only cost $7.99.  

As Real Simple reports, cotton candy grapes aren’t anything new. They’ve actually been around for quite some time, but only went viral last summer, as Bustle reports. The fresh grapes that taste unmistakably of super sweet cotton candy was made through the cross-breeding of different varieties of grapes, according to Grapery who developed the grapes. 

The delicious grapes are only available in certain seasons, so everyone’s hype right now is real! Divine Grapes, the brand behind the grapes sold at Trader Joes, says that the grapes will be available in May and June. Have no fear though, you can get your cotton candy grape fix at other stores too. If you are a member, you can get them at Costco. If you aren’t, some Wegmans, Publixs, Whole Foods, Targets, Walmarts, and Fresh Directs will be carrying these babies too!

Honestly, same!

Its going to be a wild summer!

I’m smiling from the inside out!

Never.

So if you got a sweet tooth, don’t miss out and go find some of your own ASAP!
