How to Make Sour Kool-Aid Candy Dots

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Villanova chapter.

When I was a kid, I was obsessed with candy dots (I mean what kid doesn’t love the idea of straight up sugar?). It turns out that these treats are super easy to make with a sour twist, using only 3 ingredients. Whip a batch of these up for that nostalgic “kid in a candy store” feeling.
