    The grandkids love them. I just have not told them it's zucchini

    10 cups zucchini, seeded and cut in strips.
    2 1/2 cup sugar
    3 cups water
    2 packages of koolade ( any flavor)
    Bring to a boil.
    Add zucchini.
    Simmer 25 minutes.
    Drain - (Save juice to use again)
    Dehydrate 125* 6 - 8 hours.
    Sprinkle with crystal light lemonade powder or sugar to keep from sticking together.

    I'll have to try this on the grandkids!

    I also sneak zucchini into all kinds of things because it is such a bland tasting and soft veggie that it pretty much takes on the flavor of whatever it's cooked with. I shred it and add it to spaghetti sauce, lasagna, meatloaf, sometimes even burgers. I also make a "spice" bread that's really zucchini bread. But all you can taste are the spices. ;)

    I like sneaking zucchini into things too! My youngest begged me to make "those yummy brownies you make" - which are made with shredded zucchini :)

    For years I added shredded zucchini to my spaghetti sauce. My kids loved it when they were little, and still love it now.
