PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — A trendy video is popping up on TikTok, showing how to make “candy grapes.” The Jolly Rancher-coated grapes are popular, but they’re suddenly sending people to the emergency room. 

A Pittsburgh-area mother said she just wants to go back in time and not watch the viral video that ended with her 9-year-old in the hospital with severe burns.

“I’ve had a lot of mom guilt for even thinking this was a good idea,” mom Christina Blackstone said after what started as a fun bonding activity ended with a trip to West Penn Hospital.
