Powdered sugar, Corn syrup, Vanilla, Almond extract, Water, Gel food coloring

Notes

Corn syrup (helps add shine to the sprinkles), Vanilla (optional, can use 1/2 tsp vanilla alone instead of using both extracts), Almond extract (optional, can be omitted), Water (added a half tablespoon at a time, mixing well between, until smooth but still thick), Gel food coloring (as desired, gel works best as it won't thin the mixture too much)
