How to Make a Snow Cone Mix
Snow cones are so much fun to eat and kids really love them on a hot summer's day. Children can make their own snow cones with a Snoopy Snow Cone Maker. The only problem is that this product only comes with one bottle of snow cone mix. If you want more syrup for your snow cone, you have to make some yourself. It is very easy to do and doesn't even cost that much. Does this Spark an idea?

Tips & Warnings
Heat the 3/4 cup of water up in the microwave instead of getting out a pot and boiling water. You can use store brand drink mixes if you don't want to purchase Kool-Aid.
If you don't heat up your water, you will not be able to get the sugar to dissolve.
