Ingredients

The following ingredients have 20 Servings
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar (divided)
  • 1 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 ½ Tbsp water (not hot water)
  • 1 Tbsp light corn syrup
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract ((or any flavor you prefer -- vanilla goes with pretty much anything, though))
  • Gel food coloring

Instruction

  • In medium-sized bowl, stir together 1 cup powdered sugar, cornstarch, water, corn syrup and vanilla extract until well-combined.
  • Stir in the remaining ½ cup powdered sugar.
  • Add food coloring and stir until well-combined and desired color is reached (remember, the more coloring you add the more you will be able to taste it in the final product).
  • Transfer mixture into a piping bag fitted with a #4 Wilton tip*.
  • Line two cookie sheets with wax or parchment paper and, using your piping bag, draw long, sprinkle-width horizontal lines across the paper. If desired, also make small dots (about the size of a pencil eraser) along the sides of the wax paper for some variety in shape.
  • Allow to set undisturbed for at least 12 hours to dry.
  • Once dried, peel off any dots or shapes you have made and then use a knife to cut down your horizontal lines to make sprinkles.
  • That's it! Sprinkle over your favorite treats! These keep well in an airtight container.
