Forget about store-bought sprinkles. These naturally dyed, hot pink sprinkles are more vibrant in color; plus, they taste just like raspberry lemonade. Feel free to swap out the freeze-dried raspberries for other freeze-dried fruit, like blueberries, strawberries, or pineapple, and substitute peppermint or vanilla for the lemon extract to make new flavor combinations. Use these delicious sprinkles to add an extra layer of flavor to sweet treats like cupcakes, cakes, or doughnuts.

Cook's Note

Dried (also know as powdered) egg whites can be purchased online or in some specialty stores.
