i would give more stars if i could-really! this was easy to make and turned out so fruity and sweet. i used extra strawberry kool aid, less water and added a bit more honey and i piped it into the little cups with a pastry bag. i gave it to all the moms in my MOPS group for valentine's day in a gift bag with cinnamon bark and they loved it. i got a lot of requests for the recipe. this would be perfect to make at a little girl's birthday party for all the girls to take home. thanks for a fun and easy recipe

After seeing all the 5 star reviews for this recipe, we were very disappointed with the results we got from this recipe. First, there is no way only 1/4 tsp water will "dissolve" an entire packet of KoolAid. Second, 1 tsp honey wasn't nearly enough to sweeten up the very sour taste. This recipe just plain doesn't work as written...at least not for us it didn't.

I made this with my young nieces for Christmas presents for their friends. Everyone wants to give a little something to friends without spending a mint. I bought little pots at the craft store and stick-on Christmas labels for the girls to decorate. We used Watermelon Kiwi Kool-Aid and called ourselves the Glossy Posse. This recipe helped make one of the best Christmas presents I could ever give myself - a fun and easy craft day with my adorable nieces.
