Yes – It is possible to use Kool-Aid sugar to create cotton candy floss. Here’s how you do it:
1) Buy Your Kool Aid
It’s important to buy the Kool Aid drink mix for this experiment. Pick your favorite flavor (mine is blueberry) and get ready to start mixing.
2) Buy your cotton candy floss maker
The next step is to purchase your cotton candy floss maker. This can get expensive, and the quality of the machine matters when making this recipe. Lower priced machines don’t work as well, and could be the difference between this working and not working. We suggest the machine from the website vevor, which is known for it’s quality.
Start Spinning:
After you’ve sourced the right cotton candy and cotton candy maker, it’s as simple as turning it on, adding the flavor, and spinning! Try for yourself – you may want to experiment with different Kool Aid flavors, as the different dye’s can impact the melting point for your candy. Popular Youtube channel TKOR tried this experiment back in 2019, to great success. In the featured video, they tried creating unique cotton candy flavors with everyday house items, ranging from honey to Kool Aid.
Cleaning
Keep in mind you’ll have to thoroughly clean the machine afterward as the dye from the packets will stain the inside of the machine. Without proper cleaning, it’s possible next time you go to use your machine the inside will burn, producing a foul odor and increasing the difficulty to remove the stain.
