🍭 Homemade Kool-Aid Licorice Ropes
🧂 Ingredients:
1 package of Kool-Aid powder (your choice of flavor)
2 cups of sugar
¼ cup corn syrup
2 tablespoons butter
2 cups of water
2 cups of flour
👩🍳 Instructions:
Mix the ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the Kool-Aid powder, sugar, corn syrup, butter, and water. Stir it all together over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved, and the mixture comes to a boil.
Add the flour: Slowly add the flour to the liquid mixture while stirring constantly. Keep stirring until the mixture thickens to a dough-like consistency.
Let the dough cool: Once it thickens, remove the pot from the heat and let it cool slightly until it’s cool enough to handle.
Shape the ropes: Take small portions of the dough and roll them into long, thin ropes. You can make them as thick or thin as you like!
Dry the ropes: Place the licorice ropes on a parchment-lined baking sheet and allow them to cool and harden for about 3-4 hours, or until they firm up.
Cut and enjoy! Once they’re ready, slice the ropes into pieces, and they’re ready to enjoy!
🍽️ Tips:
For extra fun, experiment with different Kool-Aid flavors like Cherry, Tropical Punch, or Grape.
If you prefer a chewier texture, you can reduce the flour a little or add a bit more corn syrup.
