Homemade Sprinkles

[@lizmiller7681]

I always thought we couldn’t make sprinkles, like, those are things that just mysteriously happen in far away factories, so this is incredible to me. Cannot wait to make them with my granddaughters! Thank you sooo much!

[@islandgal500]

I am the same. I always thought that special machines were needed. The only good thing about this pandemic is having the time to learn how to make normally expensive items myself. My best result so far has been Peppermint Patties (The Salted Pepper). John has made Peppermint Bark, but I don't think patties yet. I can't wait to try these Sprinkles.

"and it's the only thing that could go wrong!" me: are you challenging me?

[@gwenmead6184]

I have ALWAYS wanted to learn how to make sprinkles! Thanks John! So helpful! And I tried making your Swiss meringue frosting but it kind of turned like a butter taste if that makes sense so do you have any recommendations?

[@PreppyKitchen]

the meringue-based frostings are way less sweet and more buttery. You can add a bit extra sugar. I think there's a note for that on the blog post :)

[@Emma_Bunnell]

Make sure you use un-salted butter, i have made that mistake one too many times, its grossssssss

[@gwenmead6184]

@@Emma_Bunnell I think I did actually! But next time I will add more granulated sugar probably?

[@Emma_Bunnell]

@@gwenmead6184 Granulated sugar will make it grainy, so i think it is best to stick to powdered sugar. If you don't have un-salted butter, just skip the extra salt, but be careful, different companies use different amounts of salt, so it might be too salty. Adding more powdered sugar to taste might be a good way to fix that

[@gwenmead6184]

@@Emma_Bunnell Yes i totally agree but i was saying when you mix it with egg whites and I actually did put powdered sugar to it after it just kind of remained buttery you know?

[@islandgal500]

You are incredible! Chocolate sprinkles next please (with melted chocolate or chocolate powder). I can't get enough of your basic recipes that produce results better than the expensive store-bought versions. Sprinkles will be another thing I will never buy from a store again!

Just made these using the exact Americolor gel food coloring kit. The messy part was sifting the powdered sugar. Other than that, the recipe was so easy and the sprinkles don’t have that waxy taste and texture that store bought sprinkles have. I’m making more tomorrow to have all the colors!

I HAVE wondered how to make sprinkles - and I tried and failed! I'm excited to try this recipe soon. And I absolutely love your suggestion to use natural foods to add color. This aligns with our goals to eat whole foods and give our bodies every advantage to fight off sickness. Of course, the sugar is not so healthy, but once in a blue moon, I'm OK with splurging! I'm sure my grandkids will enjoy making and using these, too. Thanks for another great video!

As a former English teacher, I must point out that the word is "whoa," not "woah." "Woah" is the spelling stupid people use. "Whoa" is the spelling educated people use. Think of it as an IQ test - and everyone can see if you passed it or failed it. You also REALLY need to learn the difference between a comma and a semicolon and when to use a period.

They remind me of comfits, a sweet used during 16th century England to "sweeten the breath." They often used rose water or orange flower water in the making of them. The mixture can also be used to coat small edible seeds, like caraway seeds, those make them sprinkle size already. : )
