So this is more of an idea than an actual recipe. I saw this out in the blog world a while ago and now I can’t seem to find the original source, but the idea stuck with me. So the kids and I decided to try it out one afternoon.  Success!!  The kids loved it.  And I couldn’t help but smile every time we dropped in the cotton candy.  Somehow watching it fizz and change colors just made life seem perfect.  {Okay, maybe not perfect, but at least for a few seconds it was carefree!} 

Cotton Candy Fizz

Ingredients:

cold Sprite (or other lemon-lime soda)
Cotton Candy

Directions:

Pour Sprite into a clear glass {We are dealing with kids here so I use clear plastic cups ;)} about 2/3 full.  Drop small pieces of cotton candy into each cup and watch it fizz.  It just makes you happy to watch!! 

{Try experimenting with colors, see what happens when you mix different colored cotton candy together.}
