1/4 cup sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of food coloring, baking sheet and 10 mins in oven to make edible glitter..

I've seen this and it is cool but I worry that once a small child has had this they might not realize that other glitter is not edible and try to eat that too...

Actually, I'm not sure about this – has anybody tried it? The original "glitter" recipe I saw used salt, and I get the impression this is one of those things that changed on the internet. It seems to me the sugar would melt...

I wondered the same thing... here's a site with step by step instructions, using sugar and the oven at a low temperature. http://quick-dish.tablespoon.com/2012/12/05/how-to-make-edible-glitter/

I can't see how salt would be a good choice - you wouldn't eat salt on top of cupcakes, etc.

I don't think melting would be a problem with the sugar, it doesn't melt when you roll cookies in it before you bake them.

I like to put a bit of glitz on my cake & cupcakes and will try this. Cheaper than buying it in the grocery aisle!

They weren't originally marketing it as edible. Anyway, let us know if you try it!
