Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup corn syrup
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 packet (0.13 oz) of Kool-Aid powder (any flavor)
- 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over 1/4 cup cold water. Let it bloom for 5–10 minutes.
- In a saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, and 1/4 cup water. Stir and cook over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Boil until it reaches 240°F (soft ball stage).
- Remove from heat and add the bloomed gelatin, Kool-Aid powder, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix briefly.
- Using a hand or stand mixer, whip the mixture on high speed for 10–15 minutes until fluffy and tripled in volume.
- Pour into a greased 9×9 inch pan, spread evenly, and dust the top with powdered sugar. Cover with foil and let set at room temperature for 4–6 hours or overnight.
- Dust the top with powdered sugar. Cut into squares using a powdered sugar-coated knife or scissors. Toss pieces in powdered sugar to prevent sticking.
Notes
- Ensure gelatin blooms properly for best texture.
- Use a candy thermometer to avoid overcooking the syrup.
- Make in a dry environment to avoid stickiness.
- Experiment with different Kool-Aid flavors or add extracts like mint or almond.
- Use agar-agar for a vegan version, and sugar substitutes for a low-sugar option.
