Discover the ultimate Frozen Sour Strips! These tangy, frozen treats are perfect for a refreshing, mouth-puckering snack that’s super easy to make. Ideal for beating the heat or satisfying your craving for something sweet and sour!
Ingredients
- 1 pack of sour candy strips (about 12-15 strips)
- 1/2 cup lime juice
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (optional, for a spicy twist)
Instructions
- Prepare the Candy: Lay out the sour candy strips flat on a tray or baking sheet lined with parchment paper. You can also twist or fold them for more fun shapes.
- Add the Lime Flavor: In a small bowl, mix lime juice with sugar (if using) for an extra zing. Lightly brush or drizzle the lime mixture over the sour strips to intensify the tartness.
- Freeze the Strips: Place the tray of candy strips in the freezer and let them chill for about 1 hour, or until fully frozen. This will give them a fun, frosty crunch!
- Optional Spicy Kick: If you're feeling adventurous, sprinkle a small amount of chili powder over the frozen strips for a sweet and spicy combo.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once frozen, remove from the tray and serve immediately for a fun, cool snack. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for later.
These Frozen Sour Strips are the perfect combo of sweet, sour, and chilly goodness, great for hot summer days or a fun treat anytime!
Note
- Candy Selection: Make sure to use sour candy strips that freeze well. Thicker strips tend to hold their texture better when frozen.
- Lime Juice: Adjust the amount of lime juice based on how tangy you like your sour treats. For an even more intense sour flavor, skip the sugar and use pure lime juice.
- Freezing Tip: If you want quicker results, try freezing the candy on a metal tray to speed up the freezing process.
- Storage: Store leftover frozen sour strips in a resealable freezer bag or an airtight container. This will prevent them from getting freezer burn and keep them fresh for later snacking.
- Chili Powder: The chili powder adds an exciting kick, but it’s entirely optional. Try a small amount first to make sure it’s to your taste.
