Other ideas to try with kool aid pickles:
We used dill pickle spears to make this recipe. However, any shape will work. You can use pickle chips to make these and they will look more like bread and butter style pickles.
I think whole pickles would be good as well. The baby dill pickles would be tasty.
Also, feel free to change the kool aid flavor. We used cherry but tropical punch would also be good. Hawaiian Punch is another good flavor.
You can really try any flavor you prefer or have in the pantry. The main difference will be the color of the pickles.
Obviously if you use grape, the pickles will have a purple color instead of red.
Just use what you have to make these sweet and sour pickles. Try other shapes of pickles. Anything will work!
We often just use what is on sale or we already have in the pantry. By shopping when things are on sale I save money on groceries and it really helps our budget.
