Kool-Aid Pickles, or Koolickles, are a unique and colorful treat made by soaking dill pickles in sweetened Kool-Aid. The result? A crunchy, tangy, and slightly sweet pickle with a bold, fruity flavor! They’re a fun snack and a hit at BBQs, parties, or just for something different.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (32 oz) jar of dill pickle spears or whole pickles
  • 1 packet (0.13 oz) of Kool-Aid (cherry, tropical punch, or your favorite flavor)
  • ½ to 1 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 2 cups water

Instructions

  • Drain the Pickles:

    • Pour the pickle juice from the jar into a large mixing bowl.
    • Remove the pickles and set them aside.
  • Mix the Kool-Aid Brine:

    • Add the Kool-Aid powder and sugar to the pickle juice.
    • Stir well until the sugar dissolves completely.
  • Combine & Refrigerate:

    • Place the pickles back into the jar (or a new airtight container).
    • Pour the Kool-Aid mixture over the pickles, making sure they are fully submerged.
  • Chill & Marinate:

    • Seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 5-7 days, shaking the jar once a day to distribute flavors.
  • Serve & Enjoy!

    • Once the pickles have absorbed the flavor, they’re ready to eat! Serve chilled for the best taste.

Notes

  • Flavor Options: Cherry and tropical punch are the most popular, but try grape, watermelon, or blue raspberry for fun variations!
  • Sweetness Level: Start with ½ cup sugar and add more if you like a sweeter pickle.
  • Storage: Keep refrigerated for up to 2 months.
