Ingredients
Scale
- 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.
Notes
- 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.
