Popping Candy
- 1 cup of popping candy
Water

Instructions
- Prepare Your Workspace: Clear a clean, flat surface and gather all your ingredients and tools. Having everything at hand will make the process smooth and enjoyable.
- Dissolve the Kool-Aid: In a small saucepan, combine water and Kool-Aid powder over medium heat. Stir until fully dissolved, creating a vibrant syrup.
- Add Sugar: Add sugar to the Kool-Aid syrup and stir continually until it reaches a thick consistency, resembling a syrup.
- Coat the Licorice: Dip each piece of licorice into the syrup, ensuring it’s fully coated. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Sprinkle with Popping Candy: While the syrup is still wet, generously sprinkle the popping candy over the licorice, pressing gently to adhere.
- Allow to Dry: Let the coated licorice sit at room temperature until the syrup hardens, usually around 1-2 hours.
Notes
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Make sure your licorice and popping candy are fresh for the best flavor and texture.
- Adjust Sweetness: Feel free to tweak the amount of sugar based on your personal preference.
- Experiment with Flavors: Don’t hesitate to mix different Kool-Aid flavors for a unique taste experience.
- Work Quickly: The syrup can harden quickly, so coat the licorice as soon as possible.
