2. Combine Sugar and Food Coloring:

   • Place the sugar on the waxed paper, spreading it out evenly.
   • Add one drop of food coloring to the sugar.
   • Using your fingertips, gently work the food coloring into the sugar until it is evenly distributed. The sugar will begin to take on the color of the food coloring.
   • Repeat this process, adding one drop of food coloring at a time, until you achieve the desired hue. Remember, a little food coloring goes a long way, so start with just a drop or two and add more as needed.

3. Let It Dry: Once you’ve reached the desired color, allow the colored sugar to dry completely on the waxed paper. This should only take a few minutes.

4. Store for Later Use: Once dry, transfer the colored sugar to an airtight container for storage. It will keep for several months, ready to be used whenever you need to add a pop of color to your baked goods.

Tips:

• Experiment with Colors: Get creative with your colored sugar by mixing different shades of food coloring. For example, combining red and blue food coloring will give you purple sugar, while mixing red and yellow will result in orange sugar.
• Use Coarse Sugar: Coarse sugar works best for this recipe, as it adds a delightful crunch and texture to your baked goods. However, you can also use regular granulated sugar if that’s what you have on hand.
• Get the Kids Involved: This recipe is perfect for getting little hands involved in the kitchen. Let the kids help sprinkle the food coloring onto the sugar and mix it in. It’s a fun and easy way to introduce them to baking.
