Making box chocolate brownies for Mardi gras and have mardi gras colored jimmies . Would prefer not to use icing. Will jimmies be ok if put on batter right before baking or will they melt. Or will look ok if melt and stay same
Color?

In reply to Allison. Hi, Allison-- the sprinkles will definitely dissolve into the batter. You can use them on the finished loaf just fine. Hope that helps!

I have the Nordicware holiday mini-loaves bundt pan (see link below). Can I use sprinkles to add color to the finished bundt? If so, what kind of sprinkles would be best? For example, If i put green sprinkles in the tree portion of the bundt pan then fill it up with a light colored batter, will the green sprinkles make a green tree or will it just melt into the batter? Thanks in advance for your help!

Is it possible you’ve never heard WHY they are called jimmies?? I’m not trying to be the woke police, I swear.

In reply to Renata. Hey, Renata-- in this case, the only thing to do is to frost and sprinkle it right before serving. The other option is to use a dark frosting like a chocolate one. There's still bleeding and melting, but it's far less noticeable!

That's so useful, thank you so much! But i still have a question: if i use creamcheese buttercream (1:1) how can i prevent sprinkles from melting? Is there the only way to put them just few hours (2-3) before eating a cake? Can't find the information about this anywhere

In reply to Jamie. Quins will probably lose their shape. Sugar or nonpareils are the best on spritz since they're so tiny and delicate!

In reply to Lynn. What about quinns on spritz? I’m making them tomorrow. I’ve used sugar my whole life and I really want to try something more festive.

In reply to Maggie Desmond. Pearls would be the only ones that have any flavor/sweetness. Otherwise, I put nonpareils on my spritz cookies.

Did not answer my question. I did learn some so all was not a time waster. I am looking for sprinkles to decorate the top of cookies. I do not use icing or frosting on my cookies. We like the cookies to stand on there own so I am looking for Pearls or something like that that adds little flavor just a touch of sweet but is not hard to bite into and can stand up to cooking. Like a pop of color in the center of a spritz cookies.
If you have an answer to my dilemma please reply.
