How to Make Homemade Edible Glitter Colored Salt Or Sugar

  1. Measure 1 cup of salt or sugar into a clean, clear jar with a tight-fitting lid.
  2. Add food coloring, one drop at a time, to the jar.
  3. Secure the lid tightly.
  4. Shake vigorously to combine the food coloring and salt/sugar.
  5. Repeat steps 2-4, adding one drop of food coloring at a time, until you reach your desired color intensity.
  6. For even coloring and to remove excess moisture: Spread the colored salt/sugar in a thin layer on a baking sheet and air dry for about 1 hour, or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until moisture is evaporated (approximately 1-2 minutes).
  7. Once dry, store your edible glitter in a clear salt shaker for easy dispensing. Alternatively, pour some into a small saucer for dipping the rims of glasses.
  8. Sprinkle, dip, or shake your edible glitter onto drinks, baked goods (breads, cookies, toast!), or use it in craft projects. Add a few grains of uncooked rice to the jar to absorb any excess moisture if desired.
