You could coat bites with a mixture of 3 parts icing sugar to 1 part milk (more liquid makes it thinner). The liquid used in a powdered sugar glaze can be simply water or milk mixed with a flavoring, or the liquid itself can impart flavor. Citrus juice like orange, lemon, or lime juices can be used as well as any kind of liquore.

Making powdered sugar (confectioner’s sugar)

You will need a high-powered food processor, or coffee grinder or blender. Ensure it is clean and free of moisture. Add granulated sugar and blend until it is fluffy and smooth. Put though a fine strainer and return any clumps to be processed again. A cup of granulated sugar should yeld about 2 cups of powdered sugar.

Sugar Free option:

  • ¾ cup Sugar Free Granular Alternative (such as Splenda)
  • 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons Milk (or water)
  • ½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract (or other extract for taste)

Mix together to form a glaze

Note: These can be frozen and then reheated into a microwave for a few seconds.
