    I hope you found many new ideas to make and how to color some great recipes for a fun color-themed meal or party.  Try experimenting with your favorite recipes and see if you can make them pink.  For example, we love this candy for Christmas but when we wanted it for Valentine's Day too, we switched out the Dots candy by only using the red and pink ones.  Check out how fun, chewy, and great the GUMDROP CANDY turned out with just red and pink.
