Zucchini Candy (Tastes like gummy worms or gumdrops)

10 cups peeled diced zucchini cut into 1/2 inch cubes, or strips for "worms"
3 cups water
2 pkgs. unsweetened Kool-aid
2 1/2 cups sugar

Mix all ingredients together and simmer for 25 minutes. Drain. Put on dehydrator trays and dry 14 hours at 125 degrees. Turn pieces over and dry another 4 hours. They will feel dry and not sticky when done. Store in jars or other tightly sealed containers. If you dip in sugar when you turn them, they will be more like gumdrops on the outside.

This video is a friend of mine who added lemonade to the outside to make them sour! Great how-to, super easy!
