Here's something we could definitely get behind: a fairground food that's healthy for you. And California company Grapery , through means of crossbreeding genetically optimal grapes, may have done just that.

Deep-fried twinkies, foot-long hotdogs, and the walking taco. If you've been in a state or county fair in the past, oh, decade, you've probably encountered any number of these Frankenstein-esque food concoctions. They're created solely to shock potential victims to the point that they will stop and actually buy the thing.

"They brought the most interesting grapes back to California to cross pollinate with seedless, thin-skinned grapes hoping to create offspring that would be viable to grow commercially," says CEO Jim Beagle. "No one knew that one of the offspring would taste like cotton candy. Cotton candy is a lucky coincidence."

And if you were worried that these grapes seem a little too gimmicky, foodies have already given them their seal of approval. The 2014 Governor's Ball served guests up a piece of filet mignon and used the grapes as an exotic, sweet garnish.

The company has recently been breeding a type of grape dubbed "Witch Finger" too, wonder why they called it that...

"Grapery founder Jack Pandol uses Cotton Candy grapes in an old family recipe for a dessert," Jim adds. Pandol coats the grapes in crème fraîche with a dash of orange liqueur, garnished with a sprig of mint.

So while you can rush out the door today and grab some bite-sized cotton candy deliciousness for yourself, we've got another neat way to add some flavor to a grape (no cross-pollination breeding needed.) The results may not be as impressive, but there's no denying the cute n' crafty DIY vibe.

Create a simple syrup using using equal parts sugar and water. After the mixture has been brought to a boil and all of the sugar has dissolved, add 1/4 cup of fresh-squeezed orange juice and let sit until the syrup is mildly warm.

Add a handful of halved grapes, and let them rest in the mixture for at least an hour while they soak up the orange syrup. The longer you let the juices infuse, the more flavorful the grapes will be.

And then, you'll realize, that you've done the impossible--created something that could be served alongside deep-fried twinkies without spiking your cholesterol.
