When a rogue snowstorm hit sunny Savannah this past week we had a little sweet carny fun! This Snow Cotton Candy is a perfect snow day treat for the littles and the bigs!

Snow Cotton Candy
What you need: 
Sugar
Water
Bubble Gum flavoring (available HERE), you can also sub any extract of your choice
Pink food coloring
Thick white paper made into paper cones
Snow
Spray bottle
What to do: 
In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, stir together 2 cups water and 1/2 cup sugar. Heat just until sugar has dissolved (you are making a “less sugary” version of a simple syrup). Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.

Stir a few drops of bubble gum flavoring (or any extract of your choice) into the sugar water until desired taste is reached.
Stir enough pink food coloring into the mixture until a rich pink color. Transfer mixture to a spray bottle.

Pack the paper cones with fresh snow and pile snow on top to mimic a pile of cotton candy.
Spray snow with the flavored and colored water mixture.
YAY!!! It’s Snow Cotton Candy!! Let the circus begin.
