We found some of those Cotton Candy grapes the other day and OH MY gosh they are wonderful!  We hadn't seen them in a while but they are back in the stores here now.

 

It helps me not be so sad the cherries are gone. . . but the HATCH peppers are back too and I LOVE those!

Never heard of cotton candy grapes.

 

The Hatch Chilies are about 2 weeks early this year due to hot, dry weather, which chilies love.

Oh @Sooner I agree those Cotton Candy grapes are the bomb! . . . if anyone has a chance to snag them I would highly recommend as they are great for snacking but also for a given recipe.  They are unusual yet delicious!

OH how I love those!  I could almost eat them with peanut butter. . . but they are so good in sauces, soups, casseroles, on burgers, on my oh my!  I usually roast and peel a bunch and freeze them!

I don't think I would like them.  The idea of cotton candy fruit is just horrid to me.  I'm not good with regular cotton candy flavor, nor very sweet things.

Never heard of them. Had to look it up online. It say's it tastes just like pink spun sugar. I hate Cotton Candy so don't know if I would like them or not. Colorado peaches from Nolan Orchards are finally available. Picked up case of peaches, watermelon & sand plum jam this morning. Cunningham Orchards will bring in their peaches week after next. Now I just have to wait for some to ripen.

I bought the cotton candy grapes by mistake. They were horrible. I tossed them out. Had an odd sweet taste for grapes.
