Description
A fun and colorful treat that combines the nostalgic flavors of Kool-Aid into chewy candy ropes, perfect for all ages.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup corn syrup
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 packet Kool-Aid (any flavor)
- 1 tablespoon butter, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Optional: Food coloring (for more intense colors)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the flour, corn syrup, sugar, Kool-Aid, butter, and salt. Stir well to combine until the mixture is smooth and vibrant.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat. Cook the mixture while stirring constantly for about 5–7 minutes until it transforms into a thick, dough-like consistency.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat, allowing the mixture to cool slightly. Once manageable, knead it for about 3–4 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Roll the mixture into small ropes, dusting your hands with flour if sticky. Shape them into desired lengths.
- Place the ropes on parchment paper and let cool for 1–2 hours until they become firm and ready to devour.
Notes
Dust your hands with flour to manage stickiness. You can freeze individual ropes for longer storage.
