I swear to heaven above that these really do taste like Sour Patch Kids. Only they are a little more healthy!
I saw this recipe on local, Columbus blogger Rachel’s, Hounds in the Kitchen. I knew right away that I would love this sweet and Oh, so sour concoction!! And boy was I right! I barely have any enamel left on my teeth after eating almost a whole bag of these sugary, sour goodies.
You will need to mix :
2 T of honey with 2 T of hot water in a bowl. To that add grated orange peel, 1/2 t cinnamon (more or less) and 1 teaspoon (more or less) vanilla extract.
Rinse a bag of cranberries and add to the bowl, mixing to coat.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment and pour a mix of 1 to 2 cups of powder sugar and granulated sugar.
With a slotted spoon, add cranberries to the sugar mix and coat well. Let sit about 30 minutes or until sugar hardens. Store in a jar for 3 to 4 days. I didn’t use a slotted spoon so mine are still drying since this morning. But that didn’t stop me from eating them all day!!!
Oh man, I read this and immediately mailed the link to my friend who loves Sour Patch kids. And even though I don’t particularly like those, this sounds so delicious, I’ve gotta try it!
No these do not tase like sourpatch THEY TASTE SO MUCH BETTER! I love these they taste like cranberries but better mm yummy
