Ingredients

  • 1 .14 oz Kool-Aid packet flavor of your choice
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • paper straws
  • glue gun

Instructions

  • Take a sandwich baggie and add 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and the Kool-Aid dry mix.
  • Shake well until evenly dispersed.
  • Hot glue the bottoms of the straws closed by adding one dot of glue and then firmly pressing both sides together. I used a pair o scissors to press them together against my counter top.
  • Cut a small hole in the corner of your baggie and fill the straw up until about a 1/2 inch from the top.  Then hot glue the other end.
  • Told you they were easy!  Each baggie will fill about 12 straws.  They aren't quite as pretty as the ones you can fill up at the candy store but these taste better!

Notes

  • They aren’t quite as pretty as the ones you can fill up at the candy store but these taste better!
  • I used a pair of scissors to press the hot glued ends of the straw together by gently pressing the scissors down on the straw against my counter top.
  • This recipe easily doubles or triples so you can make a bunch of them!
