Comments: |
| You can divide the mixture into batches before Step 4 and add a different color to each batch. It looks really pretty in a glass cookie jar after its finished. In spite of the high sugar content, this is a really popular snack with parents for the kids. It's quick & easy. There aren't any preservatives. |
