Description

Kool-Aid Pickles, also known as Koolickles, are a fun and flavorful snack made by marinating dill pickles in a sweet and tangy Kool-Aid infused brine. This vibrant treat combines the tanginess of pickles with the fruity sweetness of Kool-Aid for a unique, refreshing snack that’s perfect for summer or anytime you want a burst of bold flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Pickles

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

Marinade

  • 1 packet (0.13 oz) Kool-Aid (cherry, tropical punch, or your favorite flavor)
  • 1/2 to 1 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 2 cups water (pickle juice from the jar)

Instructions

  1. Pour pickle juice: Carefully pour the pickle juice from the jar into a large mixing bowl, reserving the pickles.
  2. Remove pickles: Take the dill pickles out of the jar and set them aside while you prepare the marinade.
  3. Mix marinade: Stir the Kool-Aid powder and granulated sugar into the reserved pickle juice, mixing well until the sugar is fully dissolved.
  4. Return pickles: Place the pickles back into the original jar or a clean airtight container, ensuring they fit comfortably.
  5. Add Kool-Aid mixture: Pour the Kool-Aid and sugar-infused pickle juice over the pickles, making sure they are completely submerged to absorb the flavors evenly.
  6. Seal and refrigerate: Seal the jar or container tightly and refrigerate for at least 5 to 7 days, shaking the jar gently once daily to redistribute the marinade and flavor the pickles thoroughly.
  7. Serve chilled: After marinating, enjoy your Kool-Aid Pickles straight from the fridge for a cool, sweet, and tangy snack.

Notes

  • The amount of sugar can be adjusted depending on your preferred sweetness level.
  • You can experiment with different Kool-Aid flavors to customize the taste.
  • Ensure pickles are fully submerged to prevent spoilage and for even flavor absorption.
  • Shaking the jar daily helps incorporate flavors better and improves texture.
  • This recipe requires patience as the pickles must marinate for at least one week to develop the full flavor profile.
