Hi, I'm new to the site, and new to baking in general. I'm going out of my mind because I LOVE the flavor of cotton candy. (I have purchased the flavor from LorAnn Oils to use when I figure out what to put it in...lol) However what I really wanted to find and cannot, is these tiny little "crunchy" pieces of ...god knows what,? but its in the DAIRY QUEEN COTTON CANDY ICE CREAM BLIZZARDS. I was hoping I could use them in cupcakes, or frosting, or whatever, but NO ONE KNOWS WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR when i look on sites like LorAnn, Williams Sonnoma, etc. Even the dairy queen's can't tell me what it is, or where to find it.
Can someone here shed some light on this for me or tell me how to make them from "scratch" or whatever?? Also, can you could tell me if I can use them for the above stated purpose, if so, how?, and if not, what could i use them for instead? Thank you so much, it's been driving me crazy for months! !
