Happy New Year!!

Freeze Dried Fruit
1/4 cup granulated sugar

Pick up "Freeze Dried" fruit in an assortment of flavors at your local Trader Joes (A little goes a long ways!), Sams Club or order online from a variety of different vendors.

In a thoroughly cleaned coffee grinder (Unless coffee and fruit is your preferred taste) combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar and aprox 1/8 cup fruit.

Use on the "Pulse" setting and grind for about 5 seconds and check,

grind more if needed but never going more than 2 seconds at a time.

Grind until all fruit checks are gone.

Bend the bottom of a paper straw (I bought mine from Shop Sweet Lulu and make a paper cone with a hold just large enough to fit inside your straw.

Slowly sprinkle in your pixie powder just a little at a time so it wont clump up at the end, fill about 8/10 full and fold the other end to seal. 

Store in a moisture free area and enjoy! 

TIP: If your powder gets too powdery and doesnt want to pour nice, you can simply fold a piece of paper and "slide" the powder into the straw this way rather than making a cone. Texture of the powder may very depending on the food processor used and the humidity conditions in your home. 

 FABULOUS, Brittany!

I love this idea and cant wait to try this with my own kids. I think I might actually try it myself first..... "fool" them and let them LOVE it. Then Ill break the news that its not colored sugar but REAL FRUIT!
