Notes
Nutrition
These don’t have preservatives so they will stay fresh for about 3 days in a sealed container . After that they start tasting a little stale .
Yes , these can be froze for up to 3 months . Just when you are ready to serve them , bring them to room temp to let them defrost .
I used the jimmy type sprinkles but any type of pastel sprinkles will work for the funfetti.
