Description

Kool-Aid Pickles, also known as Koolickles, are a fun and unique treat that combines tangy dill pickles with the bold, fruity flavor of Kool-Aid. This no-cook snack is easy to make and perfect for parties, BBQs, or whenever you want to try something different and colorful!


Ingredients

1 (32 oz) jar of dill pickle spears or whole pickles

1 packet (0.13 oz) of Kool-Aid (cherry, tropical punch, or your favorite flavor)

1/2 to 1 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)

2 cups water


Instructions

  1. Pour the pickle juice from the jar into a large mixing bowl.
  2. Remove the pickles from the jar and set them aside.
  3. Mix the Kool-Aid powder and sugar into the pickle juice, stirring well until the sugar dissolves.
  4. Place the pickles back into the jar or into a new airtight container.
  5. Pour the Kool-Aid mixture over the pickles, ensuring they are fully submerged.
  6. Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate for at least 5-7 days, shaking the jar once a day to distribute the flavors evenly.
  7. Once marinated, serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

Experiment with different Kool-Aid flavors like grape, watermelon, or blue raspberry for a fun twist.

Adjust the sugar level based on how sweet you want your pickles.

For a spicy version, add a few slices of jalapeño or a dash of hot sauce to the pickle jar.
