4 Tbsp. Knox gelatin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 small pkg. orange Kool-Aid powder
2 cups sugar
1/8 teaspoon citric acid
Butter a shallow pan. Pour water in a separate saucepan and add gelatin. Let soak for 5 minutes. Add sugar, salt, Kool-Aid, and citric acid. Bring to a boil and wash sugar crystals down from sides of pan. Boil for about 20 minutes on medium heat, stirring constantly. Pour into prepared pan about 1/4-inch deep. If your pan is too big, fold foil to make a mock side. Let stand overnight at room temperature. Using a knife or scissors dipped in warm water, cut into 1/4-inch widths and 2-3-inch lengths, or simply cut to size desired. Refrigerate before dipping in chocolate so they are easier to handle.

No, not yet. I thought they sound really good though and wanted a place to file the recipe for later use.
