This delicious snack is easy to make, and it’s always a hit at parties and social gatherings. If you’re looking for a fun and tasty twist on traditional pickle recipes, look no further than this Kool Aid pickle recipe.

Ingredients:

– 1 (32-ounce) jar dill pickle spears or whole pickles

– 2 cups granulated sugar

– 1 cup water

– 2 (0.13-ounce) packets unsweetened Kool Aid in your choice of flavors (such as cherry, grape, or tropical punch)

Instructions:

1. Drain the dill pickles, reserving the brine in a large bowl. Set the drained pickles aside.

2. In a medium saucepan, heat the reserved brine, sugar, and water over medium heat until the sugar has completely dissolved, stirring occasionally. Make sure not to boil the mixture.

3. Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the brine mixture to cool to room temperature.

4. Once cooled, pour the unsweetened Kool Aid powder into the brine mixture and stir well until fully combined.

5. Carefully place the drained pickles back into their original jar or another suitable container.

6. Pour the Kool Aid-infused brine over the pickles in the jar, making sure all pickles are fully submerged.

7. Seal the jar tightly with its lid and gently shake or swish it around to ensure that all pickles are coated with the colorful Kool Aid brine.

8. Refrigerate the jar for at least 1 week to allow maximum flavor absorption (the longer they sit, the better). During this time, shake or swish the jar occasionally to ensure an even distribution of flavor.

9. After the pickles have absorbed the Kool Aid flavors, serve them chilled as a snack or appetizer. Enjoy your unique and delicious Koolickles!
