Questioning the same amount of blue food coloring in ratio to red food coloring with larger volume. Followed the instructions to the letter and top came out blue instead of green. Merry Christmas 🎅.

Hi Julie,

we got green color, maybe it depends on the shade of blue. We also put the option of green color in recipe so that this doesn't happen.

Best, Dragana

Phenomenal taste! Super labor-intensive though, so I'm glad they're just once a year.
