Sprinkles

candy · desserts · decoration

Tiny candy toppers. Sprinkles are small pieces of candy in tons of bright colors that you sprinkle on top of cupcakes, cakes, doughnuts, and ice cream to make them look extra special.

Come in shapes. Some sprinkles are shaped like tiny balls called nonpareils, while others are thin rods called jimmies or just regular rod-shaped sprinkles.

Add fun texture. When you bite into ice cream or a cupcake covered in sprinkles, they add a little crunch and make eating dessert even more enjoyable.

Make things pretty. Bakers and candy makers use sprinkles mostly as decoration to make desserts look more colorful and exciting on the outside.
