Have you ever wanted to make your own sprinkles? This easy recipe shows you how to make homemade sprinkles in a matter of minutes.  

~Ingredients:

1 1/2 Cups Powdered Sugar, divided.

1 Tablespoon Cornstarch.

1 Tablespoon Light Corn Syrup.

1 1/2 Tablespoon Warm Water.  

1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract.*

Gel Food Coloring.**

~Directions:

Step 1: In medium - sized bowl, stir together 1 cup powdered sugar, the cornstarch, water, the corn syrup and vanilla extract until well-combined.

Step 2: Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup powdered sugar.

Step 3: Add food coloring and stir until well combined and desired color is reached.***

Step 4: Transfer the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a #4 Wilton tip.****

Step 5: Line two cookie sheets with wax or parchment paper and, using your piping bag, draw long, sprinkle width horizontal lines across the paper.*****

Step 6: 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.

Step 7: Allow to set undisturbed for at least 12 hours to dry. 

Step 8: 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. 

Step 9: Store these in an airtight container.

~Recipe Notes:

*You can use any flavor you want. Vanilla goes with pretty much anything.

**Use any color you want. We used pink, blue and purple.

***Remember: the more coloring you add the more you will be able to taste the coloring in the final product.

****If you don't have this specific tip, you can cut a small (sprinkle's width) hole in the tip of a ziploc bag and using that. Just be careful using a Ziploc bag, as the sprinkle mixture is thick and may cause the ziploc bag to burst if squeezed too hard.

*****Try to keep your lines as straight as possible, but don't stress if they're a little wobbly (like ours are). When you break them up you won't be able to tell that they are crooked!

Have fun making these! Let us know if you have any questions.
