1

Prepare the Glittery Dust

To start, you'll need to make the glittery dust that will give your Faerie Floss its shimmer. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of edible glitter with 1 teaspoon of sugar. Mix them together until the glitter is evenly distributed throughout the sugar. Set this glittery goodness aside for later.

2

Make the Sugar Syrup

Next, it's time to create the foundation of your Faerie Floss - the sugar syrup. In a medium-sized saucepan, mix together 2 cups of granulated sugar, 1/2 cup of corn syrup, and 1/2 cup of water. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar completely dissolves.

3

Add Flavors and Colors

Once the sugar is fully dissolved, it's time to add some flavor and color to your Faerie Floss. Add a few drops of your favorite flavored extract, such as strawberry or vanilla, and a drop or two of food coloring. Stir everything together until the flavors and colors are well incorporated.

4

Spin the Faerie Floss

Now comes the fun part - the spinning! Using a cotton candy machine or a homemade cotton candy spinner, carefully pour the sugar syrup into the machine's center. Slowly start spinning the machine, allowing the Faerie Floss to form delicate strands. As the strands build up, catch them with a cone or a stick and create fluffy candy clouds.

5

Sprinkle with Magic

Finally, sprinkle your freshly spun Faerie Floss with the glittery dust you prepared earlier. Gently toss the floss to ensure the shimmer is evenly distributed. And voila! Your magical Faerie Floss with Glittery Dust is ready to be devoured.
